I know that this comment most peeps will turn there nose up at, but in an effort to keep 'toy' car racing, I car share to work with a colleague. We both work about the same time, and live in the same town, so car sharing is not quite as easy as driving yourself in, but I worked out that I saved

£300

a year simply by cutting down my miles by car sharing. It also made me less tired at the end of the day, since I wasn't having to concentrate on driving on the way home! (Bonus!!).

I believe for those people who live in cities (Worcester closest to me) is a prime example of how car sharing could benefit everyone... There would be less traffic which would cause less traffic jams, use less fuel, which would then reduce the demand for fuel, causing the price to drop...

I think instead of taxing fuel, either tax those people who drive along in a 14ft box of steel all to themself, OR give benefit to those who car share?

Just an idea..
