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.
