To think that everyone has to do their bit and reduce fuel consumption

Due to the situation in the Gulf it seems clear to me that there is an issue with fuel.

To me it seems obvious that we all have to try to slightly reduce our fuel consumption even by just a bit eg not having the heating on or turning the temperature down by a degree or so, or reducing the time that the temperature is on. Also, maybe thinking more before making a journey in the car or just driving slower to reduce fuel consumption.

Even if we all reduced our fuel consumption by 10% more that would make a huge difference I think.

So am I unreasonable to think like that?

Like the school run parents who get their cars out even though they are within walking distance?

What about those that go straight from school run on to work? My works directly past my sons school. Why would I walk him there in 15 mins, walk 15 mins back... then drive past???

Shall I just take 45 minutes less pay, 5 days a week so there's one less car on the road? Err no.
