Today I was reading one of those increasingly hysterical stories about how the high price of ‘gas’ is causing US drivers to consider more economical driving techniques (£1.12 per litre is what I’m paying in the UK…probably enough to cause a riot if the US govt inflicted our levels of tax over there).
Anyway, one of the suggestions I read was to drive as if one were on a pushbike…ie to live with a reduction in speed whenever the vehicle engine suddenly comes under increased load eg when heading uphill. Most people have a tendency to sink their right foot and try to maintain uniform speed, so this seems like reasonable advice.
