Cheap female driver insurance will save you money, so will driving efficiently

You know you're a safer driver because your cheap female driver insurance quote has already recognised this. Now, women are being encouraged to show men a thing or two more by becoming ultra-efficient drivers as well.

As fuel prices soar, it is down to us individually to make a difference to our own petrol bill, but it may just be the impetus for some that will pay huge environmental dividends as well.

So come on all you female drivers, car insurance prices down - fuel prices up, we can make a difference!

Ten simple tips to save money and the world

• Speed - the most efficient speed is roughly between 55-65 mph. Faster than this and fuel use will rise.
• Be foot light - bashing on the gas pedal and then on the brake is bad news, especially at high speed. Smooth driving can save up to 30% fuel consumption.
• Gear up - change gear early - the optimum fuel efficient time to go up a gear is 2500rpm for petrol engines and 2000rpm for diesel.
• The car diet - make your car as lean as possible, any unnecessary weight can be a drag on fuel. Removing 100kg of weight could improve fuel efficiency by five miles per gallon.
• Cool it right - both air conditioning and open windows can be detrimental to fuel efficiency, so know what to use and when. At low speeds - open windows are the best option, over 40mph close the windows and put the air con on.
• The turn off - stopped for over one minute? Turn off the engine and save fuel right there.
• Pump it up - low pressure in your tyres can add 10% to your fuel costs. Check them regularly and alter to suit the load and driving conditions as per manufacturer's recommendations.
• Choose your time - avoiding the rush hour, if at all possible, is such a good idea for fuel efficiency and your sanity. Not just at work times, but on public holidays - driving at slightly more obscure times will cut your fuel use and the time on the road.
• Super service - Getting your car serviced regularly will improve the performance of your vehicle and could save you up to 50% on your fuel bill.
• Use your feet - Perhaps most obviously, think hard about whether your car journey is necessary or not. Cold engines use twice as much fuel until they warm properly, so cut out driving short distances and get fit into the bargain.
