And you've probably been in on it, too, without knowing it.

Every time you've driven a big vehicle you've been in on it. Every time you've mashed the gas pedal you've been in on it. Every time you drove out just to get a meal, or a coffee, or a movie, and did no other errands you've been in on it. Every time you drove to a friend's house just because you were bored you've been in on it. Every time you went to buy a vehicle and didn't even consider its fuel efficiency you've been in on it. Etc., etc., etc.

Don't feel bad, though. I was a part of it for a long time, too. But now I know and do and act better.

So can you. You've already made a good step by purchasing a small vehicle that can be quite fuel efficient with just a few little changes in your driving style.

Well, I can't say you don't have a cause.

Jezuz Kriste ----I'm surprised you even own a car. What is you A/C set on in the house? I'm going to assume you probably cook everything over an open flame produced soley by rubbing two sticks together. Please tell me you do not own a TV, you refuse to shop at Wal Mart, you eat absolutly no processed food everything must be "organic" bla, bla , bla
