Two months down, 10 to go!
So I got a bit carried away with my physics assignment ...hence the Engineering/Math Humor title... and it is 11:50pm and I still have not posted for today! So - another driving tip!
Drive the speed limit! We all have places to go, but apparently speeds more that 95 to 100 km/h (thats about 60 mph) cost about an additional 7 cents per litre (or about 24 cents per gallon)! What this means is that for every liter of fuel you burn, you burn an additional 7 cents worth from another litre... so say gas is $1.20/liter, what you would normally cover with that amount costs you $1.27 if you are speeding! This adds up pretty quickly in regards to both the impact on the environment and your wallet! Also, it will narrow your chances of getting a speeding ticket -even more savings!
Awesome post Heidi! It got me riding the link train and found this page of fuel-efficient driving tips from NRCan:

Apparently driving 100km/h instead of 120 can save you 20%! And their last tip is genius.
