Re: How are motorists saving fuel? I find it very difficult to save fuel, as a taxi driver. Some 95% of the time I'm in slow-moving urban traffic and trying to answer fares as quickly as possible. Due to their size, the current hybrid cars on offer are not plate-able (they don't meet minimum size requirements set by the local council) - so until a car manufacturer produces a decent sized hybrid (or in an ideal world, hydrogen cell) car, I'm stuck at 28mpg for 12 hours a day.

Since cycling to work most days, i have saved between £80-£100 in parking fees. I haven't a clue how much petrol I have saved. I also walk more on local journeys (up to 6-7 miles).

Do you know your Faradays from your Edisons? Yes, but I don't really care what they *look* like!
