How to save money AND fuel
March 21, 2011
According to Globe and Mail journalist Joanne Will, rapid acceleration from a stopped position is somewhere we could probably all stand to lose a little fuel consumption. Once you're up to speed, maintaining it rather than fluctuating is more efficient! You can find the rest of her tips here and start saving on fuel!
I am frustrated with the unreasonable prices of fuel,,,and don't believe all of the propoganda we hear. It is the same old...greed and money. Take from the poor and take from the poor. I am boycotting all car washes that are affiliated with gas stations. There are lots of independents and coin op places.

Perhaps she should study up on mechanics and chemistry before writing a column on personal opinion. Accelerating to speed quickly then maintaining that speed is more efficient than slowly accelerating. By quickly I don't mean a sustained burst of wide open throttle, I simply mean you should not take 1 minute to reach 100km/h like some morons do.
