CARSHARE: Devon motorists are being encouraged to car share with other commuters to save on fuel costs.

Many of the 8,840 members of Carsharedevon.com say they have made huge savings at the petrol pumps.

Free to join, it allows motorists across the South West to find people to share their journey with, and get help towards fuel costs.

Commissioned by Devon County Council, in partnership with Plymouth and Torbay councils, Sidmouth, Sidford County Councillor Stuart Hughes, cabinet member for Highways and Transportation, said: “There is scope for more commuters to get involved and I really would encourage anyone driving regularly to go to carsharedevon.com, register and look at the possibilities. Not only could it save you hundreds of pounds every year, you’ll be doing your bit for the environment and saving yourself the stress of having to drive every day.”
