Comment It's not (all in) the speed you drive... (Score 2, Informative) 1114

It's not in the speed you drive, it's in the way you drive. It's in little things like:
- Don't rev the engine above 2500 rpm, change gears faster.
- When a traffic light ahead is red, take your foot from the accelerator. Modern engines use no (that's right: NO) fuel on engine braking.
- Anticipate to the traffic ahead, e.g. give room for somebody so you can slide into his spot.
- Don't start the engine until you are ready to set off.

And this will absolutely NOT make you drive any slower, but I've seen tests where they showed you could save somewhere in the range of 6 to 15% fuel.

Here's a nice link to a Dutch programme called "the new drive":

Journal Journal: Slashdot admins keep me dangling!

I've posted a poll a few weeks ago. It's still marked pending. I know that polls are held open to use in bad times, but there are limits. I also know it's a dog-eat-dog world out there and only the ones better than the best gets posted, but this anticipation is just killing me.

Journal Journal: Karma Modifier

When I was posting a relpy I noticed in awe that I had been granted the option of a "karma modifier", meaning that I would get an extra karma every post I've made. Shure makes you proud doesn't it? ;)

But since people cannot mod me higher than 5 points shouldn't I wave this honour and post at just 1 point? Surely, my posts are good enough to grant met the 5 points anyway! >;-F

Ah! The difficult choices in life!
