I met up for lunch with my old boss (franchise owner of a defensive driving school) a couple of months back and asked why they weren't offering a "gas saving" class/in car training for experienced drivers.
The company has already done a study that showed its
normal curriculum saves fuel ("mild" fundamentals like looking well ahead & anticipating traffic changes; choosing the lane of least resistance; not tailgating ; etc...). I forget what the number was - I think it was about 15%.
So to go along with this post, a poll...
Do you think "ordinary" (non professional/fleet) drivers would pay money if they were promised 10% fuel savings through brief in-class/in car training? It would be easy enough to document with a
ScanGauge on board.
