    A parting thought on driving more responsibly - driving became a calming experience instead of being so hectic. It does require leaving a bit earlier for appointments but it is worth it.

    Average gas mileage is up by 2.5 miles per gallon. Not bad for stop and go traffic.

    Driving responsibly is easier than I thought. It is rewarding to watch the gas mileage go up.
