All that and also I seen people drive around with so much crap in their cars and their boot, that all adds up.

Driving with windows opens messes up the aero of the car rather use the aircon

get the car washed and polished atleast once a month the polish helps the car cut through the air more efficiently.

Check your spark plugs if they need to be replaced

How flat must your tires have been to be able to increase fuel savings by 40% ? How clogged can your air filter get with regular servicing intervals to be able to see fuel savings of 40% just by cleaning it?

Where are you getting this 40% from?

This is a bonus. The smell of chips is far nicer than the smell of diesel.
Everyone gives Diesel a bad name :confused: They have really improved, modern diesel are cleaner than petrol engines, mine after DPF, EGR, Adblue should be putting out much cleaner air than 10 years ago.

In the article. Well they state 4 to 40% so might as well say 1 to 99% if they are just thumbsucking figures.

Might as well state that you will save 50% fuel cost by filling up your tank to the halfway mark instead of full.

Remove them and get even better consumption.
