Did anyone raise the topic of sharing petrol of driving from one place to another for routine trips! would save quite a lot fo everyday driving, say from Puke to AKL. Petrol is so expensive these days.

I go from Pukekohe to Mt Wellington mon-fri, and the best fuel saving measure I have found (as I have a thirsty car) is to leave extra early (5:00 - 5:30am) which means I get a smooth consistant run all the way to town, and gives me lots of time to eat breakfast in peace before workmates show up :) The puke to akl run seems to have way more than its fair share of goon drivers and complete dickheads, so never an easy trip when its busy!

Yip I do the Pukekohe to Mt wellington run every morning as well. As stated above start early, leave early. Althou, I do rock a K11 March as a work car so even the smallest gap is a winner for me lol.

Train - quicker, I doubt that. Time you train to Papakura from Pukekohe and they start as 7:15 I think and only a couple. Then wait 30mins for the Papakura to Brittomart train. Already at work by then.

Train service can be a bit tricky, from past experience it is only worth it if you are willing to shell out big dough for a folding bicycle, but perhaps times have changed since I last used the train! :)

train every 15 mins to the city from Papakura, 55 min trip, some days a car is faster, some days it's not.

From Papakura to the city, yes. but there are only 2x trains that go from Pukekohe to Papakura in the mornings.
