Seriously, ditch the dryer. You'll be amazed at how much power you don't use. You can even line dry inside although you have to be careful of the humidity in your house. If you live in a cold climate and heat your house, then probably you'll be doing yourself a favour by drying indoors. We have a combination dryer washer (the dryer uses a heat pump), but use the dryer maybe 2-3 times a year (only during the rainy season when it rains for weeks on end). If you want to simply save energy, avoid the car. It's really apparent if you have an electric car because you have units that you can compare with other things, but for example, we burn probably 6 kWh per day in the car and this absolutely dwarfs our daily consumption in our apartment. If it's close enough to walk, then walk it. Just dryer and car may get you close to your goal.
