Going Green 'Saves Money'

Opting for an environmentally-friendly car will save motor insurance customers money, Which? has claimed.

With running costs rising and road tax now closely linked to engine emissions, choosing a car which minimises environmental impact while remaining practical and fun is not always a straightforward task.

The consumer group conducted a series of tests in a bid to discover the most fuel efficient vehicles available in the UK.

All the models which made the top ten run on diesel and the organisation said switching from a petrol car is an easy way for drivers to protect the planet and their pocket.

Commenting on the benefits of greener driving, a spokesman from Which? said: "It's a win-win situation. Choosing a greener car will reduce your carbon tyreprint, cost less in road tax and you'll save money every time you fill up your car."

In addition to buying a green car the way we drive can also help us save fuel, money and the environment. Accelerating and braking smoothly and using the gears more effectively all help the engine use fuel more efficiently and so cut down on emissions and also reduce costs.
