I am a little bit tired of hearing everyone moan about higher gas prices. Whenever I drive around trying very hard to slowly accelerate from a stop and drive a little more calmly to save gas, I am tailgated and zipped around like everyone is in a race.

And the last time I saw a trucker driving the speed limit anywhere was in 1974.

It doesn't matter if you are stuck with a big car or have a little economical car. You can save on your gas bill just by slowing down between lights and accelerating a little slower. You don't need to win every time you drive your car. Give your ego a rest!
