Want to spend less at the pump? Lose some weight. That's the implication of a new study that says Americans are burning nearly 1 billion more gallons of gasoline each year than they did in 1960 because of their expanding waistlines. Simply put, more weight in the car means lower gas mileage.
I have actually thought about this before, but it is funny to see that somebody did a "study" on it.
Sometimes I get to drive around with 4 people, although two of them only weigh 15 and 43 pounds. Anyway, I've surpassed 250 people miles per gallon on some round trips.
