State Idling Laws Help Reduce Fuel Consumption

As “Going Green” continues to be a hot topic for the transportation industry, many states have been actively adding and enforcing idling regulations. Fuel conservation is clearly one of the best and easiest ways for fleets to not only reduce their impact on the environment, but also reduce costs. Aside from moving to alternative fuels, reduced idling will have a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption. Details on the laws in many states can be found here: http://www.atri-online.org/research/idling/2007_atri_idlingcompendium_secure.pdf

wether we like it or not, fuel prices will keep on rising. so many factors pointed out which contributes to the crises. the main reason is simply the law of supply and demand.

the major oil players like OPEC are very smart that they are able to control the supply to make an artificial demand.

the best we can do is to conserve fuel by using less or none at all. stay away from those luxury cars..
