Want to spend less at the pump? Lose some weight. That's the implication of a new study that says Americans are burning nearly 1 billion more gallons of gasoline each year than they did in 1960 because of their expanding waistlines. Simply put, more weight in the car means lower gas mileage.http://www.wired.com/news/technology/autotech/0,72013-0.html
Using recent gas prices of $2.20 a gallon, that translates to about $2.2 billion more spent on gas each year.
