Roughly two months ago I started paying attention to my driving habits. Which is good on many levels. For one, I wasn’t the kindest, most courteous driver on the road. I didn’t like slow people getting in my way and slowing me down. More importantly, I drive a big 4×4 truck, with a horrible, gas-guzzling V8 engine.
So what is the MPG Challenge? Well… it’s a fun, exciting driving game. One which you drive slow, and deliberate. Very much like an old grandparent, putt-putting along. The beauty of this game is you save all kinds of cash because your fuel efficiency gets better and better. When I started the game my truck was getting a dismal 14.9 mpg. Now two months later I’m getting some serious high scores. Currently my MPG readout on the dash has me getting…
drum-roll…
18 MPG
Yeah your read it right. I’m now getting EIGHTTEEN MILES PER GALLON in my big, fat, heavy, 4×4 truck. And I’m not really trying that hard. Just think if I tried… could I get 20 mpg? I’d be rich!
Has anybody else out there changed their driving habits? What do you drive? What kind of MPG are you now getting?
