What do I have to change in order to save a ton? How much driving is that?

It's how far your car goes on 102 gallons of gasoline.

Edit: 102 US gallons, which are different from UK gallons.

My point is that this is the message that needs to be said. If everyone would try to drive 2000 fewer miles this year, we can make a real difference. Or can we? Or maybe it's only 200 miles per person?

> real difference

Saving the climate should become a sport.

Maximising my MPG rating was a sport for me, until partner crashed the car. I managed 75 MPG (UK gallons) reliably. I sold the replacement car as soon as I could once she moved to California, went back to just cycling (I live in the UK).
