and burn less of what you earn.

Here's how burning less is like earning more. In 2007, for most commuters, transportation costs consumed over 20% of their yearly income (consider a combined household income of $80,000 and at least $16,000 burned up in auto expenses). With fuel and repair costs almost 30% higher than in 2006, more of our earnings are being drained by the gas pump and our family's financial security is at stake. Here are the facts on how you can burn [33%] less of what you earn and put over $2000.00+ (avg. savings) back in your bank acount this year:

EASE THE PACE:	slow down early, don't race into gridlock - save two gallons a day
LEAVE SOME SPACE:	don't tailgate and you won't trigger or be caught in a stop-n-go mystery-jam - less brake & trans. repairs
ENCOURAGE THE MERGE:	ease up, let your neighbor merge, everyone shares in the positive effects of good-will - less stress is good for the heart
CAR POOL:	plan one week ahead (kids, appointments etc.) and pool your resources with neighbors - shut down your oil-refinery (car) and arrive faster using the HOV lane
TELECOMMUTE:	take the 'rush' out of rush-hour, plan your week with your staff/directors and begin your day on the computer at home - traveling off-peak hours will save you and your company money
MASS TRANSIT:	reduce your transit stress and turn ride-time into prime think-time - it costs less than most commutes with no wear and tear on your car or health

So, what's the average CARma commuter saving this year?

Fuel: 5 gallons per week (average, however 5 gal. per week - per car in savings is common = 10 gals.: for a two car family that's $22.00 - $30.00 savings per week: $30. X 52 weeks = $1560.00 per year in gas savings alone)
Brake Repairs: Extend the life of your brakes 4 months (average)
Stress: Lower your blood pressure and the effects of stress on your immune system
Commute Time: Reduce your drive time to increase your family time
