Men are more likely to women to cut down on the amount of driving they do, it has been suggested.
According to a recent poll conducted by the Environmental Transport Association, six out of ten men would drive less in order to reduce costs, while less than half of women would be prepared to do the same.
Similarly, women lagged behind when it came to reducing speed, with only 37 per cent claiming that they would curb their speed to save money compared to 45 per cent of men.
However, women were found to be more likely to combine journeys in order to reduce their overall mileage.
Director at the Environmental Transport Association, Andrew Davis, commented: “Since women do fewer miles and are far more likely to keep to the speed limit than men, arguably they are the greener drivers, but everyone can enjoy financial and environmental benefits by occasionally leaving the car at home.”
