Canadian Eco website
Does this website look familiar to any of our Maple Leaf flag friends up north?

Years ago I was heavily researching data on idling and plug-in heaters; the Canadian and Canadian government sites were light-years ahead of the U.S. I wish we had some sort of driver education program(s) for these things- they are sorely needed.

I'm surprised they start with a BSFC graph!
Usually the first thing a consumer article says is to drive slower  |

Cool webpage though. Interesting.

Haven't run across this website before. Very good explanation for the average Joe to understand Eco driving.
