Combine trips

Try to combine as many purposes into one trip as you can for the following reasons:

• You’ll save time and money by combining the number of errands and stops that you make in one trip.
• When you make several smaller trips, especially in cold weather, you will use up to twice as much fuel than if you were taking a multipurpose trip.
• Cold starts for your car use up more gas and are harder on vehicle maintenance than driving for a longer period of time, keeping the engine of your car warm.
• Planning your trip makes your driving more efficient and you spend less time driving aimlessly from location to location.
