WHen I say BIG I say HUGE because - well first I want to thank whomever of you posted in the Lean time tip thread that you had started to slow down and took your lead foot off the gas pedal.
I thought - Well that's one I could do easily enough - and by simply modifying my routine I gathered 10 minutes to slow down from 65mph to somewhere between 55-64......mostly 60. Figured it could NOT hurt to try and I'm a product of the 55 mph generation when we had the first gas crunch in the 70's.
SO I SLOWED.....DOWN. And while I'm NOT very popular with people on the road speeding - I'm tooling down lifes highway - at 58......and a truck driving VERY fast starts to ride my tail in the slow lane - Everyone in the morning on the way to work driving 77 N. is going about 80 mph. Even in the slow lane - so when I tell you I'm NOT very popular driving nearly 25 - 30 mph slower - I mean it. Still I perservered. 55-60 - and with an angry tail gater who is on the phone and telling the person on the phone that she's going to run me over (fair lip reader even in a rear view mirror) that and her hand gestures.....lol
So I stay the course.......thinking of the money this will save - thinking of how I"ll come back and witness to you all that the other poster was SO right on.....and then she went by me in a blurrrrrr. rrrrrrrrrrr
And cut RIGHT in front of a county cop. THen did about 80 plus - and the cop and everyone else was keeping right up with her......and I thought - OMG WHOT WHOT AN IDIOT. But she figured the cop was cool -
And then the cop flipped on her lights and pulled her over - and I see all this but I'm about a mile or so behind (because I'm conserving gas) and as I go by - I beeped........lol I beeped and waved like I was Forrest Gump on the Jenny waving to lieutenant Dan. And finished driving to work.
So Thanks - SO MUCH for that tip - I can tell you that my gas usually lasts about 6 days and this tip has helped me to stretch it to almost 8 days of driving.......so
HATS OFF FOR MY FAVORITE TIP - for gas !!!!!!!!!!
Please take credit - you deserve it!
