Wake up America! Am I the only one in the United States who would like to see the speed limit reduced? Just think how much each of us would save on gasoline, not to mention the fact it would drastically cut down on foriegn oil! I think the American is so spoiled they are not willing to sacrifice a thing. I would like to hear opinions of those who believe we should make a mandatory speed limit nation wide.
Thank you for your time.

I’m hurting financially and I am considering this option. Maybe a 50-50 mix of gas and water.

I’m curious about this, I can use cruise control to work and get there just fine, I also notice my engine isn’t rived up as much as when I drove manually as well. So does cruise control help or hurt my gas mileage. Also if less gasoline is used then there would be less pollution as well. If this is true shouldn’t more vehicles come with cruise control?

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?

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.

A high gas tax would be an incentive to conserve gas and oil. THis would help kick our dangerous oil addiction and total dependence on very unstable and nations that hate us. So would you welcome a federal gas tax of $2 a gallon if in turn income taxes were reduced by an equivalent fiscal amount? After all, high income taxes just discourage entreprenership and business incentive.

Yes, with fuel injected cars – you save money on gas by turning the car off anywhere you would be sitting and idling for any amount of time, but if you were to do that at every stoplight, you’d probably burn out the starter and/or ignition switch a lot sooner and it would probably cost more than you would have saved in gas with parts and labor to get it repaired.

I am thinking about for a 1990-2000 year toyota- an echo maybe. What do you think is good- anything slightly bigger then an echo (but not a boat)? I am looking for automatic, NOT stick-shift.

I have a 2004 Nissan Sentra and a 2006 Nissan Altima. Both have 5 speed manual transmissions. Given fuel prices, I’ve been looking at some of the hypermiling techniques and noticed some warnings that have me wondering if it is harmful to the vehicle. I’m also curious if my vehicles will benefit from the basic pulse & glide technique (just going to neutral, not turning the engine off/on).
My route to/from work is mostly rural over hilly terrain. I do have several stops (signs/lights) but they are spread enough an predictable enough.
Would employing a pulse & glide technique of shifting to neutral harm the car? Does it provide any benefit or do my vehicles already have features that enable fuel savings that make going to neutral pointless?
Thanks

You don’t need to downshift when stopping. If you want to save fuel, keep your eyes on the road up ahead. Shift into neutral and just roll. When it’s time to brake, use the brakes.
When you downshift, you cause your RPM’s to shoot up. That means more fuel is being used. You only need to downshift when you need help stopping. Otherwise, it’s cheaper to replace your brakes than to replace transmission components.
