We come across all kinds of interesting info that is just too, well, geeky for the normal reader. But we have to share it with someone and that's YOU!

Yummy statistics

• For every gallon of gas you do not burn, you save 20 lbs of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.

• Staying off the road two days a week means you've reduced carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 1,590 lbs per year.

• By not driving, you save an estimated 40 cents per mile (fifteen cents of this is just fuel costs, figured at $3 a gallon and an average of 20 miles per gallon).

• The average total cost of driving 15,000 miles per year is $7, 823 ($21.43 per day).

We'll add more geeky treats as we find them!
