The majority of it is tax, the fuel itself is about 40p if even

Hypermiling isn't popular over here, some of the techniques in that link would get you killed very quickly, but even the coasting to the lights & similar is uncommon. If a cage doesn't show brake lights it'll probably get rear ended.

I do certain things similar to hypermiling techniques, not really for fuel efficiency, but it's just part of the system I've been trained in (look far enough ahead, see the gap you intend to be in & set your pace to be able to merge in without braking, set the pace to arrive to the lights just as they go green)
