Use your car less

The following are some simple ways of reducing your mileage which will reduce your fuel bills and contribute to less road congestion.

• Car share when travelling to work or when doing the school run.
• Buy your weekly groceries in one go rather than visiting the supermarket every day.
• Work from home more often if you are not required to be in the office.
• Plan your activities to reduce mileage e.g. do your shopping on the way home from work rather than going out on a specific shopping run.
• Try buying your shopping online.
• Consider walking or cycling when travelling short journeys.
• Consider using public transport for long journeys where it could be cheaper.
