Enjoy the Easter Bank Holiday!

The Institute of Advanced Motorists has responded to the fuel price hike in the Budget by putting together some useful tips to help motorists cut their Easter Bank Holiday fuel bills.

IAM Chief Examiner, Peter Rodger, said: “A rise of as little as 1p per litre will quickly add up. Simple measures such as looking well ahead and slowing down earlier instead of always using the brakes to slow down can make a real difference.  A smoother driving style is the single best eco-driving tip.  Good economical driving starts with safer driving and anticipation.”

Make each litre last longer over Easter with good journey planning and forward thinking behind the wheel.

The first details of Audi’s latest RS model have been released and some of us here in the centres have been lucky enough to see the new Audi RS 5 at close quarters.

We have not yet had the chance to drive the new car but as usual from the RS team the car looks and more importantly sounds like a true RS with a high revving 4.2 V8 FSI engine, enhanced 7 speed S Tronic gearbox and fantastic engine acoustics through the large twin oval exhaust pipes.

From it’s flared wheel arches to the matt aluminium exterior mirrors this car shouts about the RS badge which has 16 years heritage of building stunningly fast road and track cars.
