Normally, I walk or cycle almost everywhere but when I have to buy food and water I do take the car.
To be as green as possible while using it, I always buy food for the whole week, so that I only have to drive once a week.
Think about it....

I mostly use public transportation where ever I go unless it is inefficent (places hard to reach with public transportation). The bike for short distances and in the Netherlands I'm part of a green car network. This a concept of a dutch company to have cars distributed around the country that can be used by several people. Personnaly I don't own a car.

I purchased a diesel car to commute to work since it has very fuel efficiency. I also found a station near my office that sells 20% biodiesel. I go to it as often as I can.
A friend of mine is constructing a home brew diesel system and I am doing research to see if my engine can handle it, or a blend with biodiesel.

Fortunately I have mechanics in the family so maintenance is regular and free (thanks Dad). I try to leave the car at home as often as possible and walk to town and educated my son on why we should have a 'leave the car at home day' at least once a week gets him to think about the impact that cars have on the environment. My car is a reliable second-hand 3 door (I cycled until I was 31 and had a child) but I'm hoping that when I need a new one I can afford a hybrid - hopefully a Prius.
