Many Colorado area drivers are interested in driving “greener” in ways more friendly to the environment and we’ve written on this topic before. Like many other worthwhile subjects there’s more to share than what’s possible to write about in a single article. So here we list some additional tips for greener driving and cutting fuel costs at the same time.
1. Buy Green: Before you buy a new car do research on its emission standards, fuel economy and other criteria that may be associated with environmental impact. Consider your findings in your purchasing decision.
2. Plan Trips: Whether across town or across the country, plan your route to avoid delays and unnecessary diversion.
3. Check Tire Pressure: Regularly check tire pressure to ensure sufficient, proper inflation which can enhance fuel economy.
4. Reduce Loads and Avoid Roof Racks: Unnecessary weight in your automobile can reduce gas mileage. Roof racks used for carrying recreation equipment also add to aerodynamic drag and adversely affect mileage.
5. Minimize Engine Warming: Consult your automobile’s owner’s manual to determine whether, and if so how much, engine warming is necessary. Simply driving slowly to start out is a sufficient warm up period for most vehicles.
6. Use A/C Sparingly: Use the vehicle’s air conditioning no more than necessary. Avoid setting the temperature too low or using it at all if the outside temperature doesn’t require it.
7. Control Acceleration: Accelerate gently and keep a constant speed during highway driving. Avoid tailgating which besides being unsafe, can mean excessive alternating braking and acceleration.
8. Engine Braking: Let up on the accelerator which driving conditions call for gradual slow-downs. Accelerating to stop signs consumes fuel and makes no sense.
9. Avoid Idling: When tempted to leave your vehicle idling … don’t. The practice not only tempts would-be car thieves but wastes fuel.

About Colorado
Colorado is a U.S. state located in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States of America. It may also be considered to be part of the Western and Southwestern regions of the United States. Colorado entered statehood in 1876 and was nicknamed the “Centennial State”. It is bordered to the north by Wyoming, to the south by New Mexico and Oklahoma, at the southwest corner by Arizona, to the east by Nebraska and Kansas and to the west by Utah.
The state is well known for its magnificent scenery of mountains, rivers and plains. The United States Census Bureau estimates that the state population was 4,939,456 in 2008, a 14% increase since the U.S. Census 2000. Denver is the capital of Colorado and the state's most populous city. Residents of Colorado are properly known as "Coloradans", although the archaic term "Coloradoan" is still used.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that the total state product in 2007 was $236 billion. Per capita personal income in 2007 was $41,192, ranking Colorado eleventh in the nation. The state's economy broadened from its mid-19th century roots in mining when irrigated agriculture developed, and by the late 19th century, raising livestock had become important. Early industry was based on the extraction and processing of minerals and agricultural products. Current agricultural products are cattle, wheat, dairy products, corn, and hay.
The federal government is also a major economic force in the state with many important federal facilities including NORAD, United States Air Force Academy and Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs; NOAA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder; U.S. Geological Survey and other government agencies at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood; the Denver Mint, Buckley Air Force Base, and 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver; and a federal Supermax Prison and other federal prisons near Cañon City. In addition to these and other federal agencies, Colorado has abundant National Forest land and four National Parks that contribute to federal ownership of 24,615,788 acres (99,617 km2) of land in Colorado, or 37% of the total area of the state. In the second half of the 20th century, the industrial and service sectors have expanded greatly. The state's economy is diversified and is notable for its concentration of scientific research and high-technology industries. Other industries include food processing, transportation equipment, machinery, chemical products, minerals such as gold and molybdenum, and tourism. Colorado also produces the largest amount of beer of any state. Denver is an important financial center.
A number of nationally known brand names have originated in Colorado factories and laboratories. From Denver came the forerunner of telecommunications giant Qwest in 1879, Samsonite luggage in 1910, Gates belts and hoses in 1911, and Russell Stover Candies in 1923. Kuner canned vegetables began in Brighton in 1864. From Golden came Coors beer in 1873, CoorsTek industrial ceramics in 1920, and Jolly Rancher candy in 1949. CF&I railroad rails, wire, nails and pipe debuted in Pueblo in 1892. The present-day Swift packed meat of Greeley evolved from Monfort of Colorado, Inc., established in 1930. Estes model rockets were launched in Penrose in 1958. Fort Collins has been the home of Woodward Governor Company's motor controllers (governors) since 1870, and Waterpik dental water jets and showerheads since 1962. Celestial Seasonings herbal teas have been made in Boulder since 1969. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory made its first candy in Durango in 1981. Colorado information source: Wikipedia.org.
