Did you know what the driving secret is?

The secret that will help our pocketbook, and the planet is simple: Slow Down! I discovered this little miracle by committing to drive 55 mph for a week on my commute. I got 40 miles per gallon. The difference in going faster is startling. At 65 mph, it drops to 32 mpg. I consider that significant. What does slowing down mean on the days I drive to Cheyenne? Well, I suppose I make a lot of people angry because they buzz around me as if I'm standing still. Yet, when I get to the stop light, we arrive at nearly the same time.
