The other day I was driving a familiar route (to the pub), and it dawned on me that I never make it through a certain light. If I’m driving the speed limit, I arrive at this light about 4 or 5 seconds after it turns red, so I’m always stuck there waiting for the majority of the red light. Instead of speeding 20 mph over the limit to make this light (and risking a ticket in the process), I decided to slow down and coast for a while (no, there wasn’t anybody behind me). My plan worked to perfection, and I reached the light just as it was turning green. It might not seem like much, but over a period of time, small actions like this can add up to save you a fair amount of money.
I think I read a study once that said stop-and-go driving can increase gas consumption by up to 33%. That means if gas costs $3.00 per gallon, you’re essentially paying $4.00 per gallon, as compared to an efficient driver. If you avoid quick stops and quick accelerations and try to drive at a steady pace, you can save a good deal of money without even trying.
