How to Encourage Society to Drive at Safer Speeds and Save Gas
Just as Tire Pressure Monitor Systems are required by law to make a vehicle more fuel efficient, it should ALSO be required to have a VERY obvious MPG display.
Not will this save lives (due to fewer freeway speeding accidents), make a country a little less dependent on foreign oil, and better for the environment, but a blatant dashboard MPG display would be a constant reminder about the wastefulness of fast driving.
BTW, my most recent tank refill, numbers were 51.5 mpg today and 51.3 mpg last week done with my 27y/o Honda Civic hatchback.
