Drive 55 - Conserve Your Ride - Labor Day Weekend Print E-mail
As many of you know, one of the simplest ways we can conserve gas is to just drive slower. With the Labor Day Weekend approaching, why not take a little more time to get where you're going? Talk more with your family and friends, bring more music, and help conserve the amount of gas you use that weekend!!!



If you feel inclined, make a small sign for your rear window to let others know why you are driving 55. Use your imagination and feel free to add any other messages you want to promote!!! It's also a good idea to stay in the right hand lanes so that other drivers can pass on the left (if they really do need to go faster)

Thanks for hearing me out, spread the word!!!

CA Governor urges drivers to slow down

Speaking at a climate change conference in Miami, California Governor Arnold Scwarzenegger said drivers can do a lot to cut fuel costs by driving slower.

"Who can cut (costs) down is you, you, you and you," Schwarzenegger said. "You can cut it down. Take your car, for instance. Go and get the perfect tire pressure. Tune up your engine. Drive slower." He went on to say "energy prices are not going to go back to the good old days" and it is "bogus" for politicians to promise otherwise."

"Politicians have been throwing around all kinds of ideas in response to the skyrocketing energy prices, from the rethinking of nuclear power to pushing biofuels and more renewables and ending the ban on offshore drilling," Schwarzenegger said. "But anyone who tells you this would bring down gas prices any time soon is blowing smoke. I think that people should really be in charge of their own destiny and how much they want to pay for fuel, not wait for the politicians," he said. 

The Drive 55 Conservation Project is delighted with the Governor's message and hand delivered a Thank You letter with Drive 55 bumper stickers to his office in Sacramento today. Leadership in the legislature also got a letter and some Drive 55 bumper stickers hand delivered to their offices in the Capital, inviting them to 'Lead by example'.
