Back in the mid-nineties I worked for a wealthy publishing director who bought a flat half a mile from work just so that he wouldn?t put too many miles on his beloved Mercedes.
I have since discovered that I have a client, also a publishing director, who lives in the apartment block right next to where he works. Thinking back to my track-running days at school, I?d guess it?s a distance of between 100-200 metres and he drives it everyday also in a large Mercedes. In addition, he has to negotiate a tricksy underground carpark at either end of his journey.
Personally, I think this wonderful disregard for the environment, his health and his car should be applauded. Would anyone confess to being lazier than this?

Can't confess to it myself but i'm nominating John Prescott.

I can't afford to be as lazy as your client Big Bad Dave but if I could I would; not in a Merc though, probably a big bad Bentley.

An NSU 'Quickly' would do.

My wife averages 1000 miles a year, of which I probably do 500.
Her 500 comes mainly from half a mile to work and back each day. In her defence, she normally has 3 bags of marked home work to give back to the kids.

I drive to the gym, which is half a mile from the office. :-)

Sounds more like a tax fiddle to me...
Buy a company flat to offset against tax, rent it out for cash.
