De-iced car windows with a potato

Using a simple potato, you can save petrol!

Frosty winter mornings, don't you just love them!
How much petrol is wasted each morning, whilst you defrost your car?

Cut a large potato in half - using the "inside" side, each night wipe over your windows with it whilst your glass is dry - it will not stop your windows from freezing up, but it will stop the ice sticking to your glass.
When you wake up to white windows the next day, the potato will have stopped the ice from fixing itself to your car windows, allowing you to easily and quickly remove it.

Cutting the time you need to spend de-icing your car, saving you petrol as well!
This technique used to be used by the army to de-ice their vehicles.
