mcityUse JPEGs.
No, seriously, there's no need to save as PNG-24. Nobody really cares about lossy compression when you're drawing stuff for the web. Even Wikipedia says so!
It's a very nice drawing, but it doesn't need to be over two frakkin' megs. All you're doing is screwing over people on slow connections or mobile devices.

JPEG (Joint Photography Experts Group) can produce a smaller file than PNG for photographic (and photo-like) images, since JPEG uses a lossy encoding method specifically designed for photographic image data. Using PNG instead of a high-quality JPEG for such images would result in a large increase in filesize (often 5–10 times) with negligible gain in quality.
