Personal Transport: Examining My Trips

I think it would be interesting to examine the different trips I make in my car (which, I am ashamed to admit, I do quite a lot of), and see if I can change my habits to do less driving, saving money (hopefully) and using less petrol (good for the environment!). This is something anyone could do easily, so I encourage you to do the same after reading this post- you may be surprised at how easily you could save money and do a bit to help the environment.

The Trips

I'm going to take the last year as a typical year for me as a typical 20 year old student. I admit that this state of affairs is not the global average, but I do think that the system of commuting (to and from campus), with 6 long trips a year (uni to home and back) is one that can be very simply adapted to a professional lifestyle. The commuting trips are similar, and the long trips could be travelling somewhere for a holiday (going somewhere for christmas, for example). The main difference is the holidays, which means I'm not commuting to uni (work) 5 days a week for about 4 months in the year.
 Let's now examine my different trips.
