RAC climbing on the 'green' bandwagon, i.e., it doesn't matter if you
drive a gasguzzler as long as you 'ecodrive' it?

"Motorists urged to adopt greener driving practices

Motorists could save themselves up to £100 a year and reduce their
impact on the environment by adopting more eco-friendly driving
practices, the RAC said today.

Better driving technique and improved journey planning could benefit
drivers financially, according to the organisation. It claims
motorists are currently wasting £2.2bn in petrol a year.

Petrol wasted due to poor journey planning and driving equates to more
than 5bn miles, or enough fuel to fill 267 Olympic swimming pools.

The RAC said that 60%% of drivers were unaware that changing gear when
revs were high could reduce petrol consumption, and 40%% thought that
driving under 45mph always saves fuel..."

Yeah! Yeah! They've heard it all before but the urge to drive like a
maniac wins through every time.

They should steer clear of ambiguous statements like that.
I know they are saying "change gear before the revs get too high" but what
the sentance actually says is "wait until the revs are high before changing
gear"
