Five for seven

Read it this morning … every 5 mph that you reduce your speed in an automobile, you reduce fuel consumption by 7%.  Just think what that means if you drive 40 on North 2nd Street (instead of your normal 45? 50? 55?). Hummm … could save a LOT of gas. Something those folks caught in this morning’s speed trap might want to think about. Imagine how much more gas they could have purchased with the money they’ll pay for a speeding ticket instead.  Go ahead … keep laughing at me as I try to stay inside the limt. Toot your horn … I’ll take it as recognition of my continuing effort. (BOY I gotta tell you, it is not easy to do!!!!) Won’t you try with me?
