Avoid shorter car journeys – walk or cycle instead, says AA head – Transport Xtra
With fuel prices hitting record highs, the AA’s president Edmund King has urged drivers to “cut out shorter car journeys” and walk or cycle instead. On 13 June petrol rose to 185.44p a litre, up from 178.50p a litre a week earlier and 130.70p a year ago, according to the AA. The average cost of filling a typical 55-litre family car has exceeded £100 for the first time.
