1. I will begin with a most interesting, economical, environmentally friendly and somewhat inexpensive alternative to gasoline. Diesel conversion kits can be found online at http://www.greasecar.com. These systems allow for diesel engines to run on vegetable oil. The fuel burns cooler and the cost is nominal.
2. A more traditional means of transportation for those staying within vicinity of their home is bicycling. Bicycling is an ideal activity if weather cooperates. Additionally, the cardiovascular and physical benefits are numerous.
3. Some communities offer railway and almost all have well-established bus routes. Both offer monthly rates for even greater savings.
4. For small treks around the neighborhood, walking will boost your mood and allow you to meet neighbors that you may otherwise not have the opportunity to converse with.
5. Mapping out and then planning your errands in sequence of local may take time to master but will prove to save not only fuel but also time.
6. Carpooling saves gas in multiple ways. First you can share the fuel costs and second, you sit for less time in traffic when car pool lanes are available thereby saving in wasted fuel.
7. Telecommuting has benefits also. Even if you can't telecommute on a daily basis, your employer may allow you work from home one or two days a week. Again you save gas and time.
