A reader has contributed a stunning article from CNN on: 4 gas-saving myths.
Removing excess weight from your car can also help save you gas. The Department of Energy estimates that drivers can save anywhere between 3 and 6 cents a gallon (assuming gas prices of $2.97 a gallon) just by removing those golf clubs and other unnecessary weight from your trunk.
"Hello, Bob! I don't have my golf clubs today in the back of my trunk so please make my gas 3 to 6 cents cheaper."
I think the study was probably something of the nature that you save 1 to 2 percent in fuel efficiency if your car were less heavy. Certainly within the realm of the possible.
However, cents or no sense, I think we can all agree that the journalist is a few cents short on the dollar.
