How To Reduce Fuel Consumption Up to 75%

This is interesting. According to LowTechMagazine, we can reduce the fuel consumption by a huge percentage of 75% if we cut half of the average speed. I think that this is by far the best news we have heard about ways to save fuel and save money. However, what is the science behind this statement?

The answer is simple. A quote from them will give a general idea of how this works:

"Engineers treat velocity as a non-variable, while in fact it is the most powerful factor to save a really huge amount of energy - with just one stroke, at minimal cost, and without the need for new technology. Lower speeds combined with more energy efficient engines, better aerodynamics and lighter materials could make fuel savings even larger."

So, as long as you keep your speed low, you will be able to save more fuel. 

Here is another statement about how speed can use up more fuel:

"The fastest car in the world reaches 10 times the speed of a normal vehicle cruising the highway, but it consumes 550 times more fuel."

Now that you have know the secret, hopefully you can implement this step in your driving style so you can save more fuel, save more money and save the environment. It is a three-in-one package for all.
