Driving your car

PRIZE WINNER
Name Steve McKenzie
Subject Change your driving style to cut your fuel bills
I like to see how economically I can drive by accelerating and braking smoothly, anticipating any hazards on the road ahead and getting into the highest gear as soon as I can.

I see no point in getting fraught and overtaking unnecessarily only to find yourself just a few cars ahead miles later. This incurs significant stress and costs.

Name Gareth Jackson
Subject Green motoring
I choose cars based on their environmental impact and try to drive as sensibly as I can, staying near to the speed limit and using cruise control wherever possible.
