With prices at the pump continuing upward, there's little a consumer is to do. Or is there? Yes, yes, friends, there's much you can do. Follow the ten easy steps and you'll be skipping to better fuel economy like me (I've filled up twice since early May).
1. Get a bike
2. Ride it everywhere (with a helmet)
3. Revel in your improved fitness after observing step #2
4. Ask yourself this question: is 20 miles to the gallon really that great? (No, no it isn't. Get a car with at least 30 mpg)
5. Set a walking or biking limit. Example: I will walk everywhere I need to go that is within three miles of my house
6. Schedule more transportation time to allow for your walking or riding places
7. If you have a kid, get a kid porter that you can attach to your bike
8. If you have two kids, get your spouse to get a kid porter on his or her bike also
9. Sell your car (you've got a bike, remember?)
10. Ditch the house, the flashy job and the city. Join a tree-hugging, bio-diesel producing colony where you can walk to work — where you thresh corn (for the bio-diesel of course).

Dude, that is great haha
don't forget, in your case, go out of town for at least a month on programs where someone else is doing the driving.
Uh...oh right, right. Good point. That's number 11.
How, I knew this guy once, he was so tough. He was in the Army for like six weekends a year and cycled all over the place, like to school four days a week. He lived on nuts and berries he was tough. But then the AC broke in his house and the tempricher got up to like, 86 degrees man. That loco, he peed himself and I never saw him again.
yay! Tree Huggers rule!
