Americans are ranting and b-tching but there are a lot of advantages to these high gas prices:
1. Less traffic on the road, as Americans cut back on non-essential travel. This also means less pollution.
2. Some people are driving a lot slower to conserve gas. There are still a lot of people who speed up to get to a red light 100 feet ahead, but at least some people are easing off the gas pedal.
3. Traffic-related deaths and auto accidents have fallen dramatically, for those first two reasons given. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080722/ap_on_re_us/gas_declining_deaths
4. It’ll force Americans to get off their lazy butts and walk or use public transportation. It’ll also force them to carpool more.
Considering how recklessly many Americans drive, I’m not so sure I want to see gas prices come down. When I consider how fast people some people are driving even with these high gas prices, I’m not sure I want to see gas go back to $1.46 a gallon like it was 7 years ago.

Is there ways we can save on fuel for our automobiles besides not driving? Let face it, most people need their automobiles for driving to work and run errands and these gas prices are not going to stop us unless it gets to $5 a gallon. Are there things we could do ourselves to increase the gas mileage on our cars?

Most of them claim that they will save fuel, lower exhaust emmissions, clean engine and increase performance. But are they really good? If thery are so good why big oil companies do not put them in the fuels they sell to public?

i have an 04 chevy tahoe and i want to try to make it a bit more fuel efficant… I know it will never be a prius but even saving a gallon or two would be great. I already put in the K&N air filter and that gave me almost 1 more MPG… any other ideas?

I bought a GEO metro over a year ago. I paid eight hundred for it and I did replace the water pump and timing belt myself because it had over 80,000 miles. I currently get around 40 mpg and to replace the tires is cheap ($120-$150). I have over 130,000 miles on it now and have not spent a lot of money on it. It is a 1995 and green but for the price and mpg that I get, I’ll drive this turtle until it dies and I can no longer fix it. Shop around and find someone that has kept up with their car and did regular maintance on it. Good luck!
