1. Considering that you have palnned a 500 NM flight at an average groundspeed of 120 knots and have determined a fuel consumption rate of 6.5gph., how much fuel should you have on board in order to have a 45 minutes reserve upon arrival at your destination?
2. Assum all the conditions in problem #1 work out as planned. Your fuel tank hold 40 gallons usable, and you departed on thsi trip with full fule. HOw much longer could you fly after reaching your destination and wihtout cutting into the 45 minutes reserve you planned for in question 1?
3. Consider the answer you determined in question2, and assume that you goof and allow an overcast to develop underneath you that prevents you from descending VFR at your destination. A radio check with “Flight Watch” indicates that your alternate aiport, which is 80nm beyond your destination in the same direction. Can you fly to your altenate at a fuel saving groundspeed of 100 knots without running out? (fuel consumption rate is 6.5 gph)

I do it all the time to keep my RPM low when I’m getting close to a red light. Is this bad for the clutch, and does this even help save fuel? If it does hurt the clutch, do the benefits outweigh the bad stuff?

I was thinking about ways to lower my car’s fuel consumption and I came across these “performance chips” that would increase horse power AND lower fuel consumption. They only cost about 10-20 bucks. Do they really works or they are fake?

I know that one must maintain a safe distance b/w your car and the car in front. But while driving on the highway the other day, I wondered if it would help with the gas milage if I decrease the distance between my car and the car in front or if I drive behind a big truck. Would doing so help my car by reducing drag or would it not have much of an affect? What are your thoughts on this matter???
