Car-free month could save €35? I'm astonished the saving's so low https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/05/22/uk-drivers-could-save-over-150-and-win-prizes-for-giving-up-their-cars-next-month-heres-ho #CarFree #savings

That's odd, the heading in the preview says 35 euro per week but headline when clicking through says 150 euro (presumably for full month). More or less the same thing, but a different emphasis.
I suppose the problem is that if you only give up the car for 1 month you still have all the fixed costs of owning a car, so only really save on fuel. It seems a slightly odd way to promote reduced car use as it tends to make the savings seem not that impressive.
