For a 400-mile trip from London to Glasgow, the carbon dioxide emissions per passenger travelling by road are 80.2kg, compared with 133.7kg by air and 46.8kg by rail, the report said.
In Britain, almost a quarter of annual carbon emissions are from transport, 85% of which is from road traffic.
In a report on sustainable transport, the Institute of Mechanical Engineers highlighted trains as one of the most environmentally benign ways to travel and put forward strategies to wean people away from travelling by car or plane, including extra fuel taxes, congestion charges and more aggressive road pricing.
Keeping your tyres inflated properly can improve petrol consumption by more than 3%. Four litres of petrol saved keeps 10 kg of carbon out of the atmosphere.
