‘Bowl of water’ hack can help you save hundreds on petrol

As the cost of living soars and fuel prices hit record highs, Brits are feeling the pinch and will want to find ways to save.

Bargain hunters and motor experts have been on the case, revealing the secrets to slashing expenses at the pump.

And one interesting hack involves quite the unlikely liquid – water.

Each time you pump the brakes, valuable energy is lost due to the heat generated by the brake pads and discs.

Revving your engine more than necessary creates a similar problem, therefore driving steadily with ease is an essential step.

Making a car work harder uses more fuel, so realising when you may need to break and changing gear in time helps you move more fluently.

To keep yourself in check, Vanarama say all you need is a bowl of water – by placing the bowl of water on your passenger seat, it helps motorists anticipate their next movements.

If it spills, it means you should be driving more attentively.
