The cost of idling
American drivers use more than 2 billion gallons of fuel each year while idling and idling creates twice the emissions of a car in motion.
Fuel when it's cool
Cut down on emissions by decreasing the amount of fuel lost to evaporation--fuel when it's cool like early in the morning or late in the evening.
Get better gas mileage

Rage is not Green...or cheap.
For those who suffer from road rage, remember that aggressive driving lowers your mileage, so if you want to save on fuel and save the planet while you’re at it, accelerate gradually-- something to keep that in mind the next time that bad driver cuts you off! Just count to 10 and say "the planet needs me!" --Your Mother (Earth) will thank you--as will your fellow drivers!
Cruising (and grooving) to a Greener Planet
Green your routine in your car:When you can, use cruise control, as it saves fuel and also helps you maintain a constant speed. (Extra tip: Free your foot and you'll free up your mind...use that energy to sing a song or whistle a tune or two!): For more tips on How to Get Better Gas Mileage: http://bit.ly/WDvYI
