Collected for your ease of use: 104 eco-driving tips {Autoblog Green}

"I just keep it at about 55-57 in the slow lane on the freeway, avoid the AC, take off reasonably and coast to stoplights and beat the EPA ratings for my vehicle by 15-20 percent easily, tickling the upper 20's in a decade old pickup without having to keep an encyclopedia of techniques in my head."

You might find it interesting to start keeping track of your mileage and actually measuring what you get. Until last week I had a '95 Ford Escort, and I spent several years making periodic 1000-mile trips. I found that there wasn't any appreciable variation in fuel economy between, say, 55 and 70-75 mph--in either event, I'd get about 32mpg. Somewhere around 75mph, I'd see a dropoff in economy down to about my city mileage. I'd see these results again and again. The upshot is for that car, there was no downside to going 75 if conditions permitted, and it saved me a pretty hefty chunk of time.

World of Warcraft credit card, chaaaaaaarge! {Joystiq}

May 9th 2007 3:21PM Tassia, you got that backwards. Amex 3, Visa 4, MC 5, Discover 6. Also notice that card is an "AISV", not a VISA, and the hologram isn't the dove that Visas actually use, and is obviously, then, a fake. That doesn't mean there won't be any such thing, of course.
