Motorists tune engines down to save

Updated on 25 March 2009

Motorists are saving on fuel bills by tuning their engines down, instead of up.

Now, petrol prices may not be as high as they were six months ago, but they are still close to 90p a litre.

So some garages are offering a new way to save a little fuel. They will 'retune' car engines to run more efficiently and they say it can save as much as 15 per cent off a driver's fuel bill.

So is this something every environmentally conscious driver should consider or just a little too good to be true?
