Not only will you have more money in your pocket at the end of the month, but your emissions will be a lot lower.
Actually, driving faster at a constant speed and avoiding stop-and-go traffic will save you fuel, as the faster you go the less fuel you use per mile.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
