Motorists can boost their cars' fuel efficiency in just minutes by removing three items, according to a finance expert.Primarily, excess weight put on the engine by hefty items such as bags, sports gear, or luggage can be avoided.

But by removing heavy items, it can reduce fuel consumption for those with petrol and diesel vehicles.Finance specialist Rebecca Bebbington of NetVoucherCodes explains: "Removing unnecessary items from your vehicle can reduce its weight, leading to improved fuel efficiency.""Extra weight places a strain on your engine, causing it to work harder and consume more fuel.

Regularly declutter your car by removing items that you don't need for your journey, such as sports equipment, excess luggage, or bulky items."This means that organising your car properly could lead to significant savings at the gas pump every time you refuel.
