Winter Driving

Submitted by AJT on Sun, 02/05/2012 - 19:00

Britain is covered in a beautiful layer of snow, but this can make driving on our roads extremely treacherous. In these conditions you should only travel by car if it is absolutely necessary, and take precautions.
 
 - Slow down! Your stopping distances will be drastically increased, even if the roads are clear of snow and ice. This is because your tyres do not work as well when they are cold. And of course, if you are driving slowly you will have more time to react, and do less damage if you do spin off the road!

Which Side is the Petrol Cap?

Submitted by AJT on Sun, 02/05/2012 - 18:47

Did you know that you can tell which side your petrol filler cap is just by looking at your fuel gauge?  Not a lot of people know that! On most cars there is a small arrow next to the petrol fillter symbol, and whichever side it is on indicates the side to use for filling up your car/ Very handy if you have a hire car, or perhaps are just forgetful.

Petrol stations are often trying new promotions, which sometimes combine unlikely products with fuel purchases!  Perhaps some of you will remember Tesco's somewhat surreal petrol price discount last July, in which shoppers could earn 5p per litre off fuel by purchasing more than £10 on pet food!

Submitted by Petrol Prices on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 18:44

In more bad news for the motorist is looks like Petroplus will be going ahead with its closure of 3 oil refineries in Europe. It is inevitable that the closure of these sites will push up fuel prices somewhat due to reduced production capacity in Europe. What is more worrying is that Europe as a whole is becoming increasingly reliant on refined fuel from outside the Eurozone, meaning that fuel prices are more and more being dictated by foreign countries Read more »
