I actually own a 2003 Toyotta Corolla which used to average 34mpg. Now I keep it around 45-50mph on the freeway (55 speedlimit) and I now get 44mpg. Been doing this for about 6 weeks now has made a big difference. Truck drivers are also slowing down becuase the savings in gas is worth the loss in time of travel. Small changes if made on a large scale will can have the largest impact on the environment.
