Comments on: Traveling for Thanksgiving? 5 Reasons to Carpool http://ecomodder.com/blog/traveling-thanksgiving-5-reasons-carpool/ Wrench smart - driver smarter - save fuel Tue, 22 May 2012 13:00:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ben http://ecomodder.com/blog/traveling-thanksgiving-5-reasons-carpool/comment-page-1/#comment-3546 Ben Wed, 26 Nov 2008 17:06:51 +0000 http://ecomodder.com/blog/?p=595#comment-3546 I'm riding with 3 other people in a Ford Focus, 200 miles each way, to visit relatives for Thanksgiving. That will be about 13 gallons of gasoline used. Driving 2 similar cars would use 26 gallons, and everyone driving seperate would use 52 gallons! Riding together instead of seperate, saves 39 gallons, and even at current (lower) gas prices, saves about $80! You could pay me $80 to go eat turkey and pie any day!

We developed the first carpool app on a location aware mobile platform called Carticipate. We gave a talk on carticipation at the Silicon Valley iPhone Develpers' Meetup in Palo Alto last week. We posted the vid on youtube here (be sure to select “watch in high quality”): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaphdB6Wafs You can also carticipate and go green with the iPhone.
