DOES SPEEDING REALLY SAVE YOUR TIME?

(NC)—We've all been overtaken by speed demons trying to make it through the next light without stopping. They pick up the pace, put the pedal to the metal and screech out in front hoping to gain that minute or two advantage. Sometimes, for all their speeding, those same drivers arrive at the light at the same time as we do. Have you ever wondered how much fuel they burn and how much time they really save?
According to Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), speeding and aggressive driving burns excessive fuel, wastes money and does not save a significant amount of time. If someone told you that you could save two minutes of time by burning up to 39 per cent more fuel would you do it? Would it be worth it? With gasoline prices skyrocketing in many Canadian cities, and with growing concerns for the environment, does it really make sense to speed and drive aggressively?
Save yourself some money and slow down. You can find more money-saving driving tips at www.vehicles.nrcan.gc.ca.
