Cheapest in Florida Traffic School Urges Consumers to Explore Options Available to Avoid High Gas Prices

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Instead of decrying the high cost of gasoline, consumers need to investigate the various options currently available to reduce gas consumption or eliminate it altogether. This is critical not only in the short-term but also for the future, reports Cheapest in Florida. The traffic school is the state’s newest and one of its least expensive, offering a comedy course at about half the cost of other online traffic schools.

According to company officials, viable solutions to high gas prices run the gamut from making adjustments in driving patterns and techniques to a more radical solution that involves securing a new vehicle that is powered by alternative fuels.

The officials stress that those who desire to keep their current vehicles can experience significant savings in gas consumption by driving at reduced speeds. Car engines operate most efficiently at speeds under 60 miles per hour. Studies show that reducing speed from 70 to 60 miles per hour would result in a two to three percent energy savings. Larger reductions in speed could save 10 percent or more.

Most importantly, Cheapest in Florida officials stress, driving at slower speeds has been shown to greatly reduce death and accident rates. Those who prefer a long-term approach and wish to avoid the use of gasoline to fuel their cars, officials noted, could switch to a vehicle that is environmentally and energy friendly and efficient and uses no gas nor omits any emissions. Such a vehicle is the 2008 Honda FCX fuel cell car manufactured by Honda Motors, a leader in zero emission hydrogen fuel technology.

Honda’s FCX, they point out, is powered from the electricity it generates when oxygen and hydrogen are combined in a stacked fuel cell. The car can travel approximately 270 miles without refueling.

Cheapest in Florida’s online traffic school course is a DHSMV-approved, four-hour Basic Driver Improvement Course (BDI)/ Traffic Collision Avoidance Course (TCAC) which removes traffic points from the Florida driving record and results in an insurance reduction in certain instances. Or, when traffic school is ordered by a judge, it allows people to fulfill their traffic school obligation online.
