Trip Planning Saves Gas, Time, and Money

Hi Alexandra

Aren’t there GPS where you are from? 🙂

you should try and leave in Johannesburg….no functional public transport whatsoever

As the time for school holidays begins, many people will have some trips together with their families, relatives or friends. It is good if we can plan for our holidays’ trips at least one year behind. By doing this, we can save many things.

It’s been a while since I’ve last left a comment here, so its a good time to return! Planning ahead for a trip definitely helps, but also watching how you press that throttle and brake also can help with the gas mileage! I always try to put a conscious effort in the way I hit the throttle and brake when I am in fuel save mode, whenever I have to slow down, I try to let the car coast as much as I can, to avoid having to hit the throttle 🙂

Till then,

I agree that trip planning can help a lot. When you’re circling around blocks trying to figure out where something is, you’re just wasting time and money. Plus you’re polluting extra. I wouldn’t say it’s always to shortest distance to something that is the quickest and best route. Sometimes high traffic areas can slow you down and make you pollute more. When doing your trip planning, take advantage of street view mode on Google Maps. That way you can visualize exactly what you’re looking for before you get there.
