I drive a police car. Guess who pays for gas.

I'm considering buying a hybrid for my agency though. They don't come in police pursuit yet.

I have found setting the cruise control at 62 mph increases mileage by almost 30%.

I got rid of driving at 75 - 80 down the left lane and passing people to aggressively to get to work faster. I just cruise control 70 now...
 
I've been driving less often and more like an old person for a while now. But I did just pay 2.33 yesterday 🙂
I was actually thinking about it, and if it dropped $1, we probably would start driving more again.
 
slowed down, dont accelerate hard anymore, anticipate red lights so i put it in neutral and just coast until i arrive at the red light...
 
During the summer I walked and I rode my bike to get around. But now the weather is changing so I just stay home most of the time. No more fun trips here and there.🙁

You're not a real man until you can terrorize them wearing Spandex like me. 😛

Are you sure it's just the spandex and not the kielbasa? 😛

Didn't she learn to share her toys when she was a kid?
 
I have an 1998 integra GSR so I used to get "on it" 😉 alot. I have been driving alot easier now so my mileage has improved. Keeping in mind I have to buy premium.

BTW - Paid 2.69 / gal for 93 octane at Sam's Club yesterday.
 
I carpool with a co-worker for my 55 mile work roundtrip now. On my days to drive, we take the Carolla instead of my Tahoe.

I'm looking for a deal on an Escalade. 😀

It's amazing that people will slash thousands off the price of a vehicle before paying a few more cents a gallon or maybe even drive a little less.
 
I used to drive my car to the ferry every morning just for convenience. Not anymore now. Public transportation all the way.
 
The wife and I have cut out a lot of unneccesary trips, and we try to do all our errands at the same time to cut down on the number of times we have to go out. She is considering taking a 2nd job; if so, I'll have no reason to come home at lunch, so I may start riding my bike to work (@7 miles each way).
