Happy Monday, everyone! Here's your challenge:
Keep your highway driving speed between 55 and 60 mph today. For most vehicles, 55 mph is the most fuel efficient highway speed and will save you up to 20-30% in fuel costs compared to driving at 75 mph. Automobile emissions are one of the leading causes of greenhouse gases. Don't idle your car at drive-up windows. If you have to stop for more than 10 seconds, you will save gas and reduce greenhouse emissions by turning off your engine.
Until tomorrow ...
WE'RE CHANGING THE WORLD ... ONE CHALLENGE AT A TIME!
no car - no problem :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes... it's TRUE! For the past few weeks I've been driving the speed limit 55-65 and have saved tons of gas! Been averaging 23mpg and we drive a dodge grand caravan! That's cus hubs has his tools in there, I'm sure if we took those off we'd go up to 25mpg!

This is a great tip; it's all part of Driving Smart
ReplyDeleteDriving is such an emotional act that it can be hard to drive smart; that's why I like to think of it as a challenge, or a game that I can play!!
