By saving just one gallon of gasoline, 20 to 30 miles of driving in most conventional cars, you will prevent about 20 pounds of carbon dioxide, the major cause of global warming, from being released into the atmosphere. To save that gallon, consider taking public transportation or carpooling to work one day a week. Plan a route to make running your errands more efficient. Or start a program to walk or bicycle for part of the week. At today’s prices, saving one gallon of gasoline could also save you almost $3.00!
Take a step away from your car and plan your car use.
