“I’ve got a groundbreaking, earthshattering tip to save on fuel costs. Drive less. ”

FLU, it’s even easier than that. Don’t stomp the gas and slam the breaks. Actually, you already said that when you said ‘drive like a pansey’.

Simply paying attention to the traffic ahead and easing off the gas instead of braking and accelerating moderately will give you 20-30% improvement compared to typical CA drving. And BTW, we’re probably on the same side here.

With high fuel prices, there are no winners. High fuel drives costs for lots of things and even if one piddles around in a smug cloud producing Prius, at $7/gal, the fuel prices are going to bust them in the rest of the economy.

My complaint wasn’t directed at you but was instead directed at the specious claims of a need to change. High fuel costs because of global consumption will drive change, but I call baloney on the change being needed for some overall good whether it’s the poser’s concept of egalatarianism, global warming or other junk.

Now if you all will excuse me, I have a strip mining venture to attend to that is making bank from the spike in battery component metals. Okay, I don’t, but face it, elsewhere in the world, they are going balls out, screw the environment, to get the metals and other stuff, our new ‘green’ selves want.

[quote=fat_lazy_union_worker] Btw: you might get 50mpg in your prius, but I recall you live in CV and work in downtown. I might get 20mpg (24 if I really really drive like a pansy), but I drive 5 miles to work every day I don’t telecommute. And my sig other doesn’t even take the freeway and has a 10 min commute. So, again, let’s see who’s really gonna hurt with $7/gal or even $10/gal gas.
[/quote]

The commute won’t get you, it’ll be the $10/gal milk, $9 loaf of bread, and $10/lb beef, chicken and pork and 20% price in everything at Walmart, CostCo and Target that will get you.

My primary complaint is that people claiming a needed change. Global warming is about making money. The climate may be warming but the determination of the cause and the effects, is purely political.

I think I’d just by a Kia Rio and use the extra $17,000 to buy enough gas at $5/gallon to run for 100,000 miles.

I commute from OC to LA. The carpool lane is gridlocked with solo prius drivers. There’s little to no time benefit to carpooling now.
