If there's one thing that has drivers grumbling more than anything, it's their car's fuel economy. How many miles a car travels on a gallon of petrol or diesel - or in some cases, with a little bit of electric power in the mix - directly drains money from the bank. The more thirsty a car is, the more expensive it is to run.
A common complaint is that it is difficult to achieve a car's advertised fuel economy. But wth a bit of practice and a change in driving habits, it's surprising how much of an improvement can be made to a car's mpg (miles per gallon) in a short space of time.
To see if you have a sound grasp of those driving techniques, or to simply learn more about making a car travel further on a tank of fuel, take this quiz and discover whether you're a fuel economy winner or loser.
