Another thing you can do (especially if you live in an apartment and don’t want to invest a lot of money) is go by your local home improvement store and buy a clear shrink wrap that goes over your windows. It does a fairly good job of keeping the heat in the house.

I’m not judging – I’m just saying – where is this magical car that gets 75 miles to the gallon ($100 saving on heating costs – assuming for the sake of easy math $2.50 /gallon of fuel – is 40 gallons). 3000 miles / 40 galons = 75 miles per gallon.

“Adjusting the thermostat by just two degrees is the equivalent of cutting 2,000 pounds of carbon emissions annually and almost $100 in energy costs. That’s the equivalent of driving a car more than 3,000 miles!”

also – the gross weight of 40 gallons of gasoline is less than 320 pounds – I’m not quite sure how that generates 2000 pounds of carbon emissions – and even less so in a power plant that is more – not less – efficient than an automobile.
