Lowrider

You don’t need a ‘68 Impala & gold Daytons to be a lowrider. This week we’re challenging our Rallyers to save gasoline – and lower their CO2 impact by a whopping 133.9 lbs per month – by being a little cooler behind the wheel.

Here are a few facts that might surprise you:

• Transportation is the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions, and is the largest end-use source of CO2. Source
• Fuel Efficiency peaks at around 60mph – and every 5 mph over 60 lowers efficiency by an average of 5%. Source
• Aggressive Driving means bursts of engine speed that can can lower fuel efficiency by 33% on the highway and 5% in the city. Source
  
  So we challenge you to not only take it 5 mph slower on the highway, but also mellow out on the surface roads. You can take this challenge, view our CO2 calculation, and more at our Lowrider Challenge Page.
  
  Think driving slowly makes you look like a grandma? No way Jose. Whoever drives the bad machine pictured above ain’t no leadfoot. She’s a lowrider.
