Don't let fuel costs cancel your visit to Grandma's house this Christmas

If you are reading this, then obviously the world has not ended and we can all get back to our daily routines in the run up to Christmas. Thankfully it's Friday and many of us commence our journeys to visit family for the Holidays from today, but in a recent survey by Hyundai, the high cost of fuel has put a halt to a staggering 30% of people's Holiday gatherings.

They say that due to the increase of fuel costs in the last five years (nearly a 50% rise) and the higher cost of living which has affected a great deal of households, a large amount of those surveyed cannot afford to visit their family or friends that live 150 miles away or an hour’s journey plus. The concerns rose after such findings is that this may lead to a breakdown of sorts in family relations. Let's not allow that to happen this year. I have searched for top tips on how you can maximise your fuel efficiency while driving to Grandma's house for Christmas.

The Automobile Association (AA) has the best post in regards to how you can save 10% or more on fuel. The advice and tips were based on the results of 50 AA employees taking part in an eco-driving experiment with Auto Express magazine.

And don't forget to check the weather forecast before setting off, as it looks like it’s going to be a wet and windy Black Friday for most of us.
