Day 56- Avoiding Tickets and Increasing My Fuel Economy

I had a very nice day today. Chelsea has seemed a little bit bored and restless around the house for the past couple of days, so I decided that it would be a good day for an outing. Thursday is Movies For Mommies at the theater and It's Complicated was showing, so I decided to take Chelsea. She was such a good girl and I actually didn't mind the movie.

After the movie, I was driving to pick up my mom from work so that I could visit her for a while. I was flipping between radio stations and on at least 3 different channels, they were warning people of the many speed traps going on around the city. I figured it might be a good idea to keep an eye on my speed and make sure that I was following the posted limit, so as not to get a ticket. It also occurred to me that I had heard people say before that driving the speed limit is helps the environment. I was never quite sure why, so when I got home I looked it up. Here's what I found:

The faster you go, the more fuel economy you lose and the more emissions your vehicle creates. (source)

Okay, that makes enough sense. Follow the limit so that I'm not going faster than I need to be so as not to create more emissions. And to avoid a ticket. Pretty sure I can do it.
