Hey, I don't see no steenkin' scangauges in that pic?

(unless it's the 2-legged variety cuz that's not going to fit on my steering wheel )

quote from Pike:
"Keim says there are hundreds of things drivers can do to raise the fuel efficiency of their cars, but first up is “fixing the nut behind the wheel” because people aren’t typically taught to drive efficiently.

--so true. We focus so much on safety and over time, sacrifice that for speed and convenience. Efficiency is almost never in the learning equation (at least it never was for me).

Cool article. I wonder if my CD player is really making a dent in my mileage.... anyone done any tests or collect data on that?
