GAS

Do you remember the gas crisis in the 70’s??  We were told to car pool, slow down, don’t drive unless necessary.    WHERE IS THAT???   Does car pool only exist so you can drive in the special lane on the big highways???    I have this cool little feature on our van that shows my average mpg.  I have found that if I drive around 35 – 40 miles per hour.  i get MUCH better mileage.  It’s gotten to be kind of a game.  I coast to stoplights (my best coast got me 70 mpg), but am much more mindful of my accelerations, as well.

How about, instead of complaining about the rising fuel costs and asking the Government ot fix it – lets take on the responsibility ourselves and learn to CONSERVE (yikes – haven’t heard that in a long time – AND personal responsibility – all in one sentence – that should ruffle some feather!)
