It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Gas Prices

Since gas prices have now reached the stratosphere, we thought we'd forward a few gas-saving tips from the good people at Edmunds.com. Edmunds tested common heard tips on saving gas and offers their recommendations. Among their findings:

• Aggressive Driving vs. Moderate Driving
  Result: Moderate driving has an average savings of 31%
  
  
• Lower Speeds Save Gas
  Result: Average saving of 12%
  
  
• Use Cruise Control
  Result: Average saving of 7%
  
  
• A/C On, Windows Up vs. A/C Off, Windows Down
  Result: No measurable difference
  
  
• Check Your Tire Pressure
  Result: No measurable difference

Not that we need to mention it, but carpooling with your spouse and driving a hybrid will also help.
