Living right in the city, we find it easy to be a one-car family.
Not only do we have only one car to maintain, but we have saved the manufacture footprint of a second car. Interesting to consider we bought it 2 years old instead of new … we didn’t have to earn the footprint equivalent of 2 years worth of depreciation.

We drive the car with the usage gauge displayed, to encourage efficient driving habits … and we tune the car regularly.
|
We always do many tasks on one trip and attempt to go to locations where many errands can be done in one spot.
|
We keep the trunk empty … a lighter car uses less fuel.
|
We use lead-free regular instead of highly processed more expensive fuel.
|
And we drive with the windows closed to reduce drag.
|
Whenever possible, we ride-share when attending out-of-town events or meetings.
