The Bite:
If you don't ditch that body in the trunk (or anything else you don't need), it is. Take unnecessary stuff outta your car to make it more fuel-efficient, so's you're not committing a felony on your own wallet.

The Benefits:
- An eco-joyride. For every 50 pounds you get rid of, you'll get about 1% better gas mileage - and pollute less (including the toxic greenhouse gas carbon monoxide) to boot.
- Less car alarm. Gas ain't cheap these days.
Personally Speaking:
Mike has kept snow chains in his vehicle since he learned to drive. It snows in SF exactly zero times per year.
Wanna Try:
- Just take out anything in your car you don't need - golf clubs, camping gear, that chain-mail knight's costume from the Ren Faire...
Cocktail Fact
The top three U.S. cities for auto theft: Modesto, CA; Las Vegas; San Diego.
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters lighten their car's load by just 50 pounds, in a year we'll negate the annual carbon monoxide emissions of 100 cars.
