Save Gas Right Now - Strategies for going farther on a litre of gas.

I found a useful article today on http://beyondoil.nrdc.org today. What caught my eye was the honest attempt to monetize the effect of the gas saving tips. With free advice being readily available, but not always of great quality I thought this angle helped lend credibility to the gas saving tips they were sharing. Perhaps nothing in their article is revolutionary, but it was a nice compilation of tips for saving gas.
