44.2 vs. 42 represents a 5% difference. That's huge when projected over your annual fuel costs. If someone told you that you could save 5% on your annual grocery costs just by holding onto the cart tighter, wouldn't you do it? If someone told you that you could save 5% at every restaurant you went to if you only sat at a table closer to the kitchen, wouldn't you do it?
