I don't do it primarily for the savings. For me it is a cheap, enjoyable workout. Saving money on gas just gives me another excuse to do it.

My husband decided to try a product called Ethos FR that claimed to increase your mpg. Turns out that the government uses this stuff in their military and secret service vehicles, China uses it for their mass transit (more for environmental reasons), and many fleets here in the USA use it. All with phenomenal results. NBC and FOX both have great reports on the product which can be seen here - http://www.gasclubusa.com/go/bcohen Feel free to email me at fightfuelprices@gmail.com with any questions you may have.

That's odd, given that ppl here typically don't ride the bus, let alone when it is hot and getting hotter outside. Also, there’s been a lot of media coverage about the increase in carpools and much larger than normal bus ridership. FWIW, I also read on another PF blog (can’t remember the name) that the D.C. area is forecasting there will be no need for price increases for (at least) the next few years because of a much higher number of riders than normal. FINALLY! Are americans actually starting to get it as far as mass transit goes!!!? Jeez. . . now that we’re only about 50 years behind Europe, people start to see the benefits of pooling resources and reducing consumption. . . I wish gas would hit $5 a gallon (which I bet it will, by this summer) to really give the clueless among us a gut check. However, I know that those who suffer the most from fuel increases are (typically) the working poor and the middle class. So. . . I guess I’ll just be careful what I wish for. . . in my region (southwest U.S. — where temperatures are already close to 100), mass transit ridership is (supposedly) way up.

The Terrablog link has a commenter that says turning off your engine before your catalytic converter reaches the right temperature is actualy more harmful to the environment, even if you are saving gas. It seems to be a balance issue. I didn't know you could turn your engine off if your wait was as little as 10 seconds. That is very good to know. Interesting post.
