Keeping with the theme of "greening" my driving, I am also going to start keeping the speed limit. I'm not a speed demon, but I do tend to drive about 10 km/h over the limit.
According to the Eco Driver, "For every 10 km/h you go over 100, fuel efficiency drops by 10%. Driving 120 on the highway instead of 100 is like paying 20% extra for gas." (www.ecodriver.org) Yikes! With the cost of gas over $1/L, I don't need to pay an extra $0.20 or more per litre for a tank of gas.
Now to convince DH to do the same thing....
