Awesome! Someone gets it right.
Tags: driving, environment, gasIn my never ending quest to bust the chops of each and every “ways to save gas” list that doesn’t list “drive less” or “walk more” as a way, I give you this list of 29 ways to save gas. Check out numbers 25 and 26:
Drive less
Here comes the discussion we don’t like to read as much.
Carpool
25. Well, if two people are riding in a car, the gas used per person is immediately cut into half. If 4 people are sharing a ride, their individual gas bill becomes only one third. Since they can now use carpool lanes, they won’t have to spend as much time in traffic (idle engines use gas too) and get an even better gas mileage, plus they get home sooner. Its not always feasible though.Combine Trips
26. Try to combine trips. If you live outside of town, try to go into town only once and get everything you need done.
These options are still too far down on the list, but the fact that they make a list at all, and on a travel site no less, melts the polar ice caps of my heart.

Riding in a truck’s slipstream is a dangerous practice. The biggest gas savings will be due to the fact that corpses don’t drive after being mashed into the back of a truck they tailgated for the thrill of the slipstream effect.

wburg - I hear ya. I’d never do it to save gas, and it is a little surprising they recommended it.
