Reduce Your Gasoline Costs
with Drive $marter Challenge

The average U.S. household will spend about $3,400 to fuel its vehicles in 2008, according to the Alliance to Save Energy (www.ase.org). The high price of gas is also raising prices on many other necessities, including food, clothing, home cooling and heating, building supplies, etc.

As gas prices climb higher, what’s a smart person – one with obligations like work, school, and grocery shopping – to do? Visit the website for a timely new fuel-efficiency campaign by the Alliance to Save Energy and more than a dozen partners, including Greenville County, SC, www.drivesmarterchallenge.org, and type in the make, model and year of your car – and you will immediately see how much you can reduce your gasoline costs by adopting smart driving measures. You’ll get tips, money-saving coupons, and fresh ideas that will result in less money moving from your wallet to your gas tank.

Greenville County has accepted a challenge by the National Association of Counties to see which county in each of three population size categories can get the highest percentage of residents and employees to take the Drive $marter Challenge. In addition to coupons from Exxon Mobil and AutoZone for each individual participant, AutoZone will also be awarding each of the winning counties 1,000 bottles of Fuel Additive/Cleaner – products applied to the fuel system to help vehicles be more fuel-efficient.

We have the power – individually and working together – to combat higher gasoline prices, decrease air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and improve our national energy security. Check out the DriveSmarterChallenge.org website today to start saving money and help Greenville County win the national competition.
