Re: Do you do wierd things to save gas??
I take the bus to work. $3.00/day, 5 days/week = $15/week to get to work and back home.Total mileage from my house to work round trip is 50 miles. Plus traffic headaches, no HOV, yada yada yada ... I say I make out in the end.
Plus, when I board the bus, I always get a nice 40 min nap to work and from work.
$4.09/gallon @ 23mpg x 2 = ~$8.18/day x 5 = $40.90/week in gas ideally because it's 23mpg highway
But with traffic, I would suspect it's closer to $70/week vs the bus @ $15/week

Re: Do you do wierd things to save gas??
nothing really weird, i just find myself slowing down sooner and maintaining as much speed as possible so i dont need to accelerate as much to get back to speed. I don't ever shut the car off because start-up always takes too long in my car for some reason...
