Budget 2023: Chancellor announces fuel duty will be frozen<\/h3>\n

Petrol and diesel drivers could slash their fuel use by a staggering 10 percent by pressing a simple button.<\/p>\n

Experts have claimed the recirculation button will increase a car\u2019s air con efficiency which could lead to dramatic savings.<\/p>\n

The button can be easily identified as it features a white car with a looping arrow inside of it.<\/p>\n

The feature is usually located on the dashboard, right next to the air conditioning controls.<\/p>\n

Experts at LeaseCar admitted the tool would help boost aircon efficiency and in turn increase fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Tim Alcock, spokesperson for LeaseCar.UK said: \u201cThis little-known button cuts out any outside air and recirculates the air from inside the vehicle back into the AC system to cool it down again.<\/p>\n

\u201cUse this button on hot days to increase the air con efficiency, get the vehicle cooler more quickly, and reduce your fuel consumption.<\/p>\n

\u201cFiltering out the external air is a good idea if there are any unpleasant smells from other cars or your surroundings, as well as reducing pollen from coming in if you suffer from hayfever.\u201d<\/p>\n

KwikFit expert Bradley Jando has admitted the recirculation button could save a significant amount of fuel. This is because the car\u2019s compressor requires energy to run an air conditioning system.<\/p>\n
