The various ways we can reduce our fuel consumption have been widely published, but many people do not understand the impact each change in their driving behavior will make. The tool makes an attempt to show drivers the impact of many of the most popular ways to reduce their gasoline consumption and carbon emissions. Currently, the tool uses the driving directions provided by Google maps to calculate the distances traveled and then extrapolate that information to yearly totals. Planned improvements will bring the ability to choose your exact commute route.
