David, DR. ROADMAP, Rizzo burst upon the traffic scene in late 1987 as the first person in Los Angeles to offer alternate routes to motorists who were sick and tired of being stuck in traffic. In 1990 he released to the world the most comprehensive guide ever written of off-freeway commuting in Southern California. Two years later he became the first traffic reporter to offer daily alternate routes in real time over the air on one of the most popular morning radio shows in Los Angeles.

Transcripts
Host: What is the appropriate way to accelerate? David Rizzo: Nice and easy, nice and easy does it. In other words you never ever want to stop on the accelerator. You should drive as if you have an egg placed underneath you gas paddle. If you stop on it the egg breaks, you get yolk on your floor mats. You want to take it easy. Couple of reasons.
First of all in older cars they have an accelerator pump on the Carburetor and it squirts an extra bullets of gasoline into their Carburetor, it just sucks it right up. On newer car it's meted a little better but still you are wasting up all that energy to overcome inertia at that standing stop, whereas if you sneak up on your speed gradually, you save a lot more gas. So you want to keep it nice and smooth, no herky-jerky driving, save it. Save that speed elsewhere.
