Did you know that aggressive driving uses an average of 31% more fuel?
Speeding uses an average 12 % more fuel. Drive the speed limit.
Using cruise control at the speed limit can save you an average 7% on your fuel consumption.
Speeding is the #1 cause of accidents nation wide. Slow down.
State of Utah #1 cause of accidents in fiscal year 2007 is Backing.... use a spotter if possible, better yet use the drive thru option.
