This should have been obvious but for some reason it wasn't. Fat people use more fuel. Obese people use a lot more fuel. Americans are using 3.8 billion (yes billion!) litres (just over a billion US gallons or about 800 million Imperial gallons) of fuel extra annually due to the increase in average weight since 1960. So here's some encouragement:
- Lose weight- you'll use less fuel
- Lose weight - you'll feel better
- Lose weight - you'll (probably) look better
And if you get rid of the SUV / MPV / other gas guzzler and maybe walk instead of driving everywhere (this will also help with weight loss) you AND the planet will be even better off.
