Yeah, I suppose the thing is really, David, to kind of sit down and think, where can I save money and where do I want to splurge?

So you can save money on your fuel.

You can economise on fuel, where you sleep, how often you eat out, because eating is a big expense that people don't always factor in.

They kind of think of the big things like accommodation.

But eating out can really drain your resources.

And then there's the hidden things like tolls and parking.

And then you can decide to splurge maybe on a few nice dinners, a few expensive days out where you're paying into places.

So it's a matter of balancing.

I mean, it needs to feel like a holiday as well, David.

You don't want to be economising the whole time.

So it's a matter of balance.

Yeah, and a fuel price, they're always a dodgy one because they're, you know, they depend on where you're filling up.

And, you know, there can be huge differences between filling stations.

So try and be wise about where you're filling up.

But roughly, I mean, most people have kind of a 50 litre tank.

So you're looking at spending between 90 and 100 euros at the prices at the moment, sort of the average prices to fill a tank.

And that will get you about 800 to 1000 kilometres, depending on what sort of a car you have.

But the big thing is how you drive.

David, you can save about 20 percent extra in fuel.

by just driving calmly, not necessarily slowly, but it's more smooth than anything else.
