I’m talking about sitting in a traffic jam, waiting for a light, etc. Is this true and does benefit fuel economy, or would it do more damage elsewhere like the transmission?
I need a third opinion.

I am a Michigan resident that needs a vehicle that is practical and efficient in fuel. Is there any vehicle out there other than a hybrid? Also, in regards to hybrids do they really save money? Currently, I drive a lot of highway miles. Help me decide.

I have a 2010 Ford F-150 4×4 supercrew with a 4.6 V8 engine in it. I was just wondering if it is really worth spending the money to put a fuel economy chip in it, and if so what is the best chip to get?

We’ve all heard of E85, 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Some states currently run E10, most recently California. Minnesota passed an E20 mandate but has yet to get the ok from the EPA. I’ve heard a person gets the best mileage with E30. If so, why not mandate E30 eventually? If I were to pump 20 total gallons into my fuel tank, 13 gal. gasoline & 7 gal. E85 to make E30, adjusting the equation in states currently blending ethanol, how would that effect my vehicle mileage, engine mechanics, and performance? Is the EPA testing for E20 and E30?

Say your family has two vehicles and you drive each 12K miles per year.
One is a huge SUV that averages 10 mpg and the other is a midsized sedan that averages 20 mpg.
You want to trade one of them to help save on family fuel costs.
Is it better to trade the SUV for another sedan that gets 20 mpg or to trade the sedan for a hybrid that gets 45 mpg?

Driving more efficiently:
1. Observe the speed limit: 7-23% ($0.21-$0.68/gallon)
2. Remove excess weight: 1-2%/100 lbs ($0.03-$0.06/gallon)
3. Use cruise control: to maintain constant speed
4. Keep your engine properly tuned: 4% ($0.12/gallon)
5. Check and replace air filters regularly: 10% ($0.30/gallon)
6. Check tire pressure: 3% ($0.09/gallon)
7. Use the recommended oil: 1-2% ($0.03-$0.06/gallon)

would it work to create something to take energy from the spinning from the tires on a vehicle, such as a windmill, and use that energy for the vehicle? I asked someone, he said no because there is friction. But I’m thinking that if its something totally different from what is giving the energy to move the tires, then it wouldn’t recognize the friction, but only the movement.

If hydrogen is actually costing 6 to 15 times the energy to manufacture, will cost trillions to provide the infrastructure, then why are so many trying to push it? If battery powered vehicles (full electrics) are only able to get 20 to 75 miles per charge, why do we like them? Personally I like the idea of the new clean diesel engines being provided, and mated with hybrid technology. Pros? Diesel fuel infrastructure is already in place, only needs a little expansion. Hybrid tech is already showing itself to be superior to hydrogen in durability, and in cost savings. Cons – I dont really see them… modern diesels are cleaner, quieter and more powerful than ever. Hybrids, especially with the American mindset of GO GO GO are showing they can go and save fuel. Tell me some of your ideas and thoughts on this topic. Enjoy
