Here are Carrentals.co.uk's top tips on how to save money on fuel this summer -

1) Take it Steady - Massive amounts of fuel can be saved by reducing your speed.

2) Pressure Point - Tyre pressures not being at the correct level are massive contributing factors to wasting fuel.

3) Plan Your Route - Avoid getting lost by planning your route and make sure the busy roads are avoided.

4) Remove Excess Weight - Cut the weight of the car down by ditching excess things like golf clubs and tools.

5) Tight-Wad's Fifth Gear - Going into neutral doesn't save any fuel nowadays as cars as too advanced for this old trick!

6) Make Your Own Fuel - People are allowed to create 2,500 litres of biofuel every 12 months and this is far cheaper than buying fuel at stations.

7) Cut Down on Resistance - Lose the drag on a car by winding windows up and getting rid of the roof rack.

8) Supermarket Money Off Vouchers - Make use of these instead of binning them as it all adds up.

9) Lift Share - Share rides with colleagues to get to work and other parents on the school runs.

10) Keep Fuel Topped Up - Fill up fully when you find a good-priced station.
