Your other options

Try these other options to save money on gas, help the environment, and improve your life:
  1. Try a flex schedule or a compressed work week
    • A flex schedule allows you to drive to work before or after rush hour. Since you're not sitting in traffic, you're using less fuel!
    • An example of a compressed work week would be a 9–80 schedule, which allows you to work 9 hours for 9 work days and get the 10th day off!
  2. Try carpooling with friends to social events
  3. Try trip chaining (planning your errands so that you make stops at several places — day care, grocery store, dry cleaners, post office — in one trip)
  4. Try biking or walking for short trips
  5. Try ordering items online rather than driving to a shopping mall
  6. Buy a hybrid
