I only fill up half a tank , as it wheighs less , so more mpg !  Also stick to the speed limit .  Planning my route more carefully as well .   Using my push iron to go to the shops ( fitter and leaner )   Any more suggestions ?

Just one phrase there that I don't quite comprehend:

Also stick to the speed limit .

 

[windowwashers]

Have a day off saves fuel .

sticking to 56mph is meant to be the best speed for low fuel consumption.
I just get there and get the job done fuel is a by-product that I hate but we all have to use it.

I'm trying to stop collecting and leaving sae instead. Trouble is my customers now see that as an opportunity not to pay at all. I am finding some very dishonest and uncaring people are about at the moment.

Ian have you read my post ?  

[sjm]

I think this is a good time to be refining your customer base . If you have to collect , doing it at the end of the day in area you have finnished is good 

[windowwashers]

Ian have you read my post ?

As I am trad I just walk as much as possible.  It is good for the fitness as well.

Support any fuel protesters rallies by joining the demonstrations.
United we stand, divided we fall.
If enough people protest, often enough, the government will finally wake up to this national problem of being the most taxed country in Europe for petrol and finally do something to help UK businesses before they go into receivership to be replaced by yet more foreign workers stepping in to replace UK jobs.

Say you do 500 miles per week at 30 mpg. If your fuel is now £6 per gallon as opposed to £5.50 (1.32 vs 1.21p per litre and it is that here) it's costing you an extra £8 or £9 per week. Pass that rise on to your customers. You only need to raise 10 custies £1 to cover it. We all have some long standing underpriced custies...or is t only me . Adapt the figures to your own mileage/fuel cost.
