The Government's temporary $50/week boost to the In-Work Tax Credit starts 7 April 2026. Answer a few quick questions to see if you're likely eligible — and whether it covers your increased fuel costs.
🚗 Drive smoother, not slower. Aggressive acceleration can increase fuel use by 20–40%. Ease onto the accelerator, coast to slow down, keep your speed steady.
🔧 Check your tyre pressure. Two minutes at any petrol station, costs nothing. Under-inflated tyres can cost you up to 3% more fuel.
🗺️ Combine your trips. A cold engine uses significantly more fuel for the first few km. Three separate errands = three cold starts. Do them all in one go.
