Martin Lewis shares how drivers can cut the cost of petrol

Martin Lewis has shared how drivers can cut the cost of petrol.

Speaking on a Christmas edition of his Money Saving Expert show on ITV, Martin was asked for tips on slashing the price of fuel.

Aside from recommending people to walk, Martin suggested motorists try a comparison website.

He also gave a driving hack on how to reduce petrol consumption.

Martin said: "The real thing I'd suggest is petrolprices.com is a website which shows you the cheapest petrol stations in an area near to you.

"So it's worth having a look at that.

"And also think about how you drive, remember every time you put your foot down on the accelerator, you're effectively burning fuel, every time you brake, you're getting rid of the money you've paid to put in the car to keep it going.

"So road positioning, speed up more slowly, not your maximum speed and that you slow down more gradually.

"Of course you brake when you need to brake for safety."

He added: "All of that can make a massive impact on the amount of petrol that you use.

"But there's no magic wand on that one I'm afraid."
