Apparently the pathetic Daily Mirror published this too late for April Fools!
Motorists have been warned to stop driving forwards into parking spaces. Motoring experts at ReduceMyExcess emphasised that reversing out of a parking bay will "use up more fuel" than the alternative.
The experts encouraged drivers to "get a little practice in" to maximise potential savings. ReduceMyExcess advised: "If you’re heading out to a car park, take the time to reverse into the space instead of simply cruising in with front bay parking." They explained that "That’s because reversing out of a space will use up more fuel, and it’s better to do this manoeuvre with a warm engine
"In other words, if you’re not confident with reverse parking but want to save on your fuel bill, now might be the time to get a little practice in so that reversing in becomes a habit.
"Always try to reverse into a parking space so you can drive straight out. This is because manoeuvring while the engine is cold uses more fuel."
Where on Earth do they get these numbskell reporters from?
More to the point, who are ReduceMyExcess, who the Mirror’s baby journalists have given publicity to?
It turns out they are just another little known company after your money:

What better way to drum up some publicity than to feed some juvenile drivel to a couple of baby journalists at the Mirror?
