An attempt is made to show how transportation costs may be reduced by using liquid fuel more efficiently. Aspects that are concentrated on include trip rationalization; route choice; the efficiency of the engine and vehicle; and judicious driving. Tables are presented to quantify the possible savings due to these parameters. It is concluded that significant cost savings can be brought about by simply changing attitudes and behavior patterns.
