While not exactly the first person you think of when you contemplate green driving, Gov. Schwarzenegger is doing quite a bit to help out, even buying green muscle cars. The latest event is that he’s actually giving you tips on how to drive more greenly.
Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and Schwarzenegger are backing EcoDriving, a website that provides tips and tricks on how to save gas and money when driving.
In a Jurassic Park-ish welcome video, the Governator tells visitors that “only you” can lower the impact gas prices have on your wallet right now. While somewhat distracted by his enormous right hand ring, I enjoyed the little motivational video and agreed with him.
The site provides an EcoCalculator to figure out how much we can reduce emissions, tips and tricks on driving, how to get your whole community to drive better, news and events and so forth…pretty typical stuff. Though to be fair, it is supposed to be the website of a “movement” for hypermiling and not super functional as a tool. It’s a bit slow to load, but interesting and worth a look-see. However, there are quite a few other EcoGeeky options, online and not, (and that are better) if you want to improve gas mileage through driving.

Conservation is a no-brainer! The more we conserve, the less resources we consume, and the less rapidly we deplete resources, while we integrate alternative, cleaner energies into the mainstream.
And really, I think that a lot of people are not aware that their driving style really does affect MPG. I see all the time people accelerating as they approach a stop, and then brake suddenly to stop. Changing things like that can go a long way!
