Do you need the car?
Consider walking or taking public transport, such as this white bus, instead of driving a car for short journeys. This saves fuel, reduces wear on a cold engine, and protects the environment.
Walk under 1 km, cycle 1–10 km, or use public transport. Short trips with a cold engine are bad for it and use more fuel.
