to consistently high gas prices averaging $3.07 per gallon.
They may be driving slower, but I still see them accelerating just as
hard as usual.
People, hard acceleration saps your mileage even worse than driving
fast! Please think about the next time you start off from a stop sign
or stop light: what's up ahead? If it's another stop sign or traffic
signal, or more cars up there, are you really going to get to your
destination faster if you speed up to ride those peoples' bumpers?
Gentle, sane driving tactics will help improve your fuel economy, and
also reduce the amount of wear and tear on your car.
And it never hurt anyone to be a little polite out there on the roads,
either.
