Sharing rides with colleagues to get to work or running errands with a friend or neighbor is a simple way to save fuel and wear and tear on your vehicle. It helps to plan your route and your departure time in advance to assure that you can avoid encounters with heavy traffic, which will save time, reduce the amount of fuel burned while your car idles, and avoid stress caused by tense traffic situations. When adopted as part of your routine, carpooling can become a shared commitment to reducing your impact on the environment while decreasing day-to-day travel expenses.
