gzip

Seriously, most browsers accept gzip compression so if you want to save
bandwidth, the best option is to have a .gz version of each css file and
send that if the browser supports gzip encoding. This is what I do for
my css and javascript files:
   ReWriteCond %{HTTP:accept-encoding} gzip
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$1.gz -f
   RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.gz [passthrough,last]
