I mean, for the environmentalists. Shouldn’t they be happy that they are forcing America to conserve gas and start being smart about their gas emmisions. People are buying hybrids. And not driving as much. Shouldn’t we be happy? Eventually, this will force us to invent a new source of fuel and stop relying on oil.

Get your car a tune-up…that’s the quickest and easiest way. Make sure everything is in working order. Make sure your oil is good, and make sure things like your air, oil and fuel filters are clear of any garbage. Check your tire pressures, and fill them to recommended levels. Even though it’s minimal, try and save yourself from using your A/C too much. The effect of turning that off (there’s a clutch that engages, and takes power from the engine to turn the air compressor) might be negated by the lost aerodynamics of opening all of your windows though…I wonder if anyone ever studied that? You should also turn the A/C off before you turn yuor car off as well…it’s just one extra thing for the starter to spin when you start the car up again.
The best thing is to try not to be a lead foot. Don’t smash the gas petal at greeen lights, don’t speed like a mad-man, etc.
Finally…ignore anything that claims to give you better gas mileage, i.e. fuel treatment, high-flow air filters, that “Tornado” thing…if they worked, the manufacturers would’ve installed them themselves.

Wow – “President Obama”? You must be seeing into the future! Actually, I did an end run around that whole gasoline thing and bought cars that run on natural gas instead. 87 cents a gallon here in Utah, and cleaner for the environment, too. So, no, I don’t drive any less, technically, but I don’t buy gasoline, either, so it doesn’t really matter in that respect…

Please confirm if these 2 tips regarding gas conservation are facts or myths:
1. staying/shifting to a lower gear, NEUTRAL specially, will stretch gas mileage.
2. Not using the car airconditioner will stretch gas mileage.
Any real and tested truths regarding vehicle gas conservation?

If Exxon were allowed to drill for oil in ANWR and between drilling and refining costs were able to sell that oil as gasoline for $4/gallon while paying taxes (income tax on profits and royalties from bidding for the right to drill) that total $2/gallon, how is that of almost no savings to US citizens?
That $2/gallon in taxes and royalties to Uncle Sam and Pelosi would be $2/gallon that is available for whatever “good” spending needs (Medicare, welfare, food stamps, education, college loans) that the Dems in Congress want. Right?

The back seats weigh about 80 pounds. Someone told me that if i take them out of my car, i will save a fortune because my car is working harder pushing these seats around unnecessarily.
It’s not like i use the back seats for anything.

I am looking to spend a little money on any gas saving inventions that are proven to work. I pay about 60 dollars a week in gas and so i figured if I paid around $2000 for a gas saving invention that would increase my mileage by about 50 percent I could make my money back fast especially if it gets more but i am willing to work with whatever because any significant increase will pay for itself in no time.
Let me know
thanks

It was featured on today tonight (East Coast) a few months ago. And the today tonight website doesn’t show old stories(which to me is stupid). It connects to the fuel line and it makes the fuel less dense or something. Saving around 20%.
I have googled and I found one but it doesn’t look the same as the one on today tonight. I can remember it was an Australian Idea. And this one that i found says it was UK. So i’m not sure it is right. Anyway Can anybody remember the name? Or has anybody got one? If so can you also tell me if its worth it.
Thanks

by the US on election day if all those planning on voting for Republicans just stay home.

First of all, you need to get a great job with a great employer, and be absolutely brilliant at it. Then, you need to say to your boss that if you aren’t allowed to work from home, you’ll quit. They’ll be so desperate to keep you, they’ll let you work from home.
Anyone else talking about ‘work from home’ schemes is kidding themselves and everyone else. No one really works from home effectively unless they have a decent paying job. Remember, you’re the one paying for the internet access, the electricity you’re using at home, and the heating and air conditioning. Unless you’ve got a boss somewhere paying you good money, or you run your own business (in which case, expect to work at least 60 hours a week instead of 40) you can’t ‘work from home’.
Yes, working at home might save you some fuel bills. But those savings will be offset by other expenses like internet, electricity, heating, etc, and wear and tear on your home. And some people just aren’t cut out to work from home. They aren’t disciplined enough to be their own boss.
Best wishes
