Do you need the car?
[L30_01_1.jpg] 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 for trips under 1 km, cycle for 1 to 10 km, or take public transport. Short trips with a cold engine are bad for the engine and use more fuel.
