While having a car is a necessity it converts into a luxury when the fuel consumption is sky rocketing and accelerating. Most car owners even if they purchase the car on a steal at a car auction shares the same dilemma----the increasing fuel price. How then can owning a cabriolet remain a necessity instead of a luxury? Cut back the fuel consumption! This might not be known to some drivers but saving as much fuel starts before the four wheel starts hitting the road. Here are some goodies for a healthy car ownership.
Good service on a regular basis increases car mileage by tat least 25%. Check on the air filter. Replace it as needed. Get that old baggage stored in your trunk. Unnecessary weight can take away good gas mileage. Check on your tire pressure. Have it aligned and inflated , tires with low pressure increases fuel use by 5% Make it three in one. If you do have more than one errand, get it going in one single route. Make it in one trip. This cuts buck the use of fuel going from one errand to another when you can do it all together. If the place is just a stone away, why not walk? It would be too impractical skidding on the road when it is just one walk away from home.
While you are hitting the road on a road trip, try this tips and save a penny.
You not on a race track. SLOW DOWN. Running out of gas? Keep it easy, slow down while heading off to the nearest gas station. The faster you drive the more gas you use. Plus, setting fuel consumption aside, driving slowly is safer and risk free. While you are waiting for someone, turn off your car. If feeling hot for the day, open the windows and let in the cool breeze, while waiting for the person to arrive. Feed your car with gasoline on an early day. The earlier it is the cooler, which makes it more compact- the result, MORE MILEAGE. Most cars now do not need to warm up. Avoid idling, it will just add fuel consumption. The harder you step on the gas, the faster you use up the gas. Avoid rapid accelerating. Accelerate slowly. Note, driving aggressively not only increases car accident risk it heightens the use of fuel more than you could imagine.
Tips are but tips, fuel consumption can be minimized with the right use of these things. These tips apply to four wheel drives that are already available. When in the helm of buying a car, consider a vehicle that has a built in design that conserves fuel. Check out on cars for sale for its availability. While hybrid are more expensive than regular, they save more. It just look expensive when bought but along the process, you're simply getting it back. Browse on car classifieds and cars for sale, there might be a four wheel available that consumes fuels less.
As a follower and volunteer coordinator for Aaron Russo in 2006 I found myself a little too high on Big Brother's radar. Russo's film, America From Freedom to Fascism was the shot heard around the world and inspired many millions to get active and effective in the truth movement. I was successful in coordinating some key actions in Los Angles including a meeting with Aaron and the other volunteers and participation in a peace march which featured Cindy Sheehan, Ron Kovic and Ghandi's grandson where we carried banners proclaiming "Want to End The Iraq War? Shut Down The Federal Reserve". My rewards for my patriotic efforts included receiving my checking account statement in my mailbox ripped open (after they saw my hollow bank account balance they finally left me alone lol), getting my automobile's windows shattered and documents in my car left in a different disorder than I had left them, being almost run off the road and other highlight reel experiences. When I first saw the car window glass on the asphalt I said to myself, "son, you are doing something right but you are doing something wrong". And I did pull back a little to be less of a target. But I now have a very popular blog for the truth movement and the Ron Paul Revolution (which was the brain child of Aaron Russo by the way). There are so many revolutions occuring right now that one requires a score card. One of these is one that even the most timid can engage in because it is totally anonymous. And it is anonymous naturally, not because of anybody's attempt for self preservation. This is a revolution to fight back against the car makers and the oil corporations.
Were you aware... 1. That Exxon had $8 billion in profits last year while gas prices for consumers doubled and tripled. 2. That the price of a barrel of crude was $18 before Sept 2001 and is now over one hundred dollars and this is rising 3. That an automobile 100 years ago did 40% better on gas mileage than a vehicle in 2008 4. That the average vehicle only utilizes 20% of the gas that you put into the engine which is why you have a catalytic converter... to pass the unburnt, unused gas out the back 5. That if a gallon of gas costs $3.30, 10% of that is inflation (figure .30 cents) and about fourty seven cents pays for taxation of some type. So about 25% of what we spend on gas goes to the government.
People have the power and if we move forward together then we can make positive change. As regards gas prices the best approach is to drop out completely. No, I don't mean to walk and ride your bicycle to the office as they do in Japan. I am here to tell you that you can convert your fuel engine to hydrogen and never have to pump another gallon of fuel again. Even if you just convert to a hybrid you will be saving up to 35% on fuel consumption, possibly more. So unless the government puts nazi inspectors in charge of peeking of your automobile's engine, this would be a totally anonymous activity and an effective revolution! Another benefit is that you will be empowering your automobile to perform better, also you will be doiong something effective to bring about cleaner air for all of us to live in and you will enjoy the reward of knowing that you are active in a revolution against the car makers and oil corporations and you can say that with regards to the price of fuel ... "we ain't buyin' it anymore"
