Regarding driving and saving gas
Posted by deneb7 on May 9, 2008
I might have given the wrong impression so here’s a more in-depth entry on the subject.
There are really three issues here: saving gas/money, and driving slower:
Saving Gas
The idea of driving to save gas amuses me. If you want to save gas, don’t drive. Take bart, bus, caltrain, muni, bike, walk, whatever. Or carpool.

Slow down to save gas?
Posted by deneb7 on May 7, 2008
I found this article in the SF Chronicle which talked about saving gas by slowing down to 55mph on freeways. It’s an interesting read… gotta love the rude/emotional comments from both sides. 
My take:
First of all, why are we looking at values for cars made starting 1988? I think it’s common knowledge that older cars are very gas inefficient. I’d like to see a more recent study on the cars out on the road today.
Second, the article assumes that driving slower is better, which is hardly conclusive. I think it really depends on the type of car you’re driving, how you drive, and what actual speed you’re driving at.
