Thursday thought is all about easy things we can do to be greener. They don’t come much easier than these driving tips from the Energy Saving Trust which guarantee to reduce your fuel consumption and the hit on your wallet.

• Check Your Revs. Change up before 2,500rpm (petrol) or 2,000rpm (diesel)
• Drive Smoothly. Anticipate road conditions so that you drive smoothly and avoid sharp acceleration and heavy braking. This saves fuel and reduces accident rates.
• Step Off The Accelerator. When slowing down or driving downhill, remain in gear but take your foot off the accelerator early. This reduces fuel flow to the engine to virtually zero.
