It occurs to me that if we (as a country) really want to reduce our dependency on oil (gas) that efficient driving should be part of our H.S. curriculum or taught in some way in our public schools. We already teach safe driving, why not efficient driving as well. Afterall, it is something that everyone can do now, without waiting for our terribly (inefficient) government to act in some manner, and without modifications on our existing cars. We have the knowledge to increase the fuel efficiency of almost every vehicle in the country by utilizing the skills outlined here and on other sites like this one.

I am very impressed with the collective imput of everyone contributing to this site, and the increase in exposure in the media re. ways to save on gas. You all have contributed greatly to this, and it's just the beginning.

We have a very eco-conscious generation of young adults in our schools who really should be taught these techniques, if not as part of the curriculum, at least during some assemblies. The incentive to use these techniques is there, gas is approaching $4 per gal.

Perhaps, some of you might like to come up with a program to use in the schools and volunteer to teach these skills. This kind of assembly might at least be interesting enough to stay awake for. You might even be able to make a business out of this educational venture.

Just an idea on how to spread the word.

Great site, great ideas.
