Reduce - You Gotta Drive Slow, and Less

I wish that people can just drive slower, and best not at all when not needed.

Friends, keep in mind the basic physics that kinetic energy is "one-half mass velocity squared". When you cruise at 80 mph instead of 60 mph, the 33% faster speed requires you to use 100% more energy. The real world calculation is of course far more complex, but it is a definitive conclusion that you are paying far more for your wasteful speeding habit.

By not waste money and gas, in the process you are saving some lives from accidents and giving a little more back to the environment.

PERHAPS THE RISING GAS PRICE IS A POSITIVE DRIVING FORCE IN ASKING THE CONSUMERS TO DO BETTER IN CONSERVATION.

I agree with you. Irresponsible people drive over speed (for nothing) and cause accidents easily wasting everybody's time... Also keep the safe distance is extremely important too.
