We drove quite slowly on Sunday as there were high winds and we wanted to check the roads for debris. We noticed a huge difference in our MPG (our car does the calculations for us). We are also constantly searching for the cheapest fuel. I am just in the process of changing our credit card to a cashback one, which should help us a little bit.

Additionally, it is illegal in at least two (if not all) states, including California and Oklahoma: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc21710.htm "Coasting Prohibited - 21710. The driver of a motor vehicle when traveling on down grade upon any highway shall not coast with the gears of such vehicle in neutral." http://law.justia.com/oklahoma/codes/os47.html "Laws 1961, p. 389, § 111106. §47111107. Coasting prohibited. - (a) The driver of any motor vehicle when traveling upon a down grade shall not coast with the gears of such vehicle in neutral. (b) The driver of any motor vehicle when traveling upon a down grade shall not coast with the clutch disengaged."

His kids got creative one year and got him roller blades for his birthday. They were doing it for environmental reasons, but I bet they saved a lot of petrol that year. :) David Suzuki’s family had a rule that if a trip was less than ten blocks they wouldn’t take the car.

When you think of what you save on gas from driving to and from work, it can add quite a bit on to your income. I realize not everyone can do this. However, I think, in the future we'll see more and more people choosing to start a home based business. There are many benefits to it, saving on gas just being one that's on everyone's mind right now. I think the high gas prices are one great reason for people to consider working from home.
