Label2xcost petrol:cut down car journeys?Q940
Question text I am going to read out some of the things that might get people to cut down on the number of car journeys they take. For each one, please tell me what effect, if any, this might have on how much you yourself use the car to get about... gradually doubling the cost of petrol over the next ten years?
