In today's rough economy and high gas prices, some people often wonder how they can save in many areas especially when it comes to gas prices. A lot of people often don't? realize how important it is to drive a certain way to save on gas. Driving habits alone can save you a ton of money each year. Today, I'm going to show you how you can determine your miles per gallon or MPG and how you can analyze your driving habits.
Step #1 ? Analyze your driving habits
If you tend to drive the same route each day to work, school, etc, try and pay attention to the roads your drive on. Do you drive on a lot of freeways or do you drive on a lot of rural roads? The reason this is so important is if you pay close attention your car's mpg, it's going to differentiate on the highway and rural roads. The reason this is different is because on a highway you tend to not stop as often as a rural road that contains stop signs and traffic lights.
Step #2 ? Let's look at the car
One of things you're going to have to know when it comes to figuring out your MPG is how many gallons your gas tank is. In the future, this will give you a good idea on how far you can travel until you get close to empty. It isn't a really important step but it's always nice to know.
Figuring out the MPG
Now comes the fun part where we will determine the MPG. The next time you fill up at the pump; make sure that you reset one of your trip odometers so it's reads 0. This is going to be important because we are going to want to know how long we have travelled until our next fill up. Regardless of how long you drive, it's the mileage and the gallons you fill up with that are important. Below I'm going to show you the simple math in order to find out the MPG.
The next time you fill up, you're going to want to write these two important numbers down ?
The miles you drove and how many gallons you filled up with at the pump. This will be displayed on the pump. I wrote a simple exercise below to help you understand how that process works.
Let's say you drove 300 miles and you filled up 10 gallons worth of gas. I'm making the numbers even so it's easier to understand. When you fill up, you'll probably have something along the lines of 10.223 gallons. It's always best just to round off. Now we are going to take the miles driven which is 300 and divide this by the gallons which is 10. The result we get is 30. This number is the MPGs.
This number is going to change every time you fill up but it shouldn't change much. You will only see a big difference if you drive 100% highway one fill up and all side streets the next fill up. Either way now you should know how to calculate the MPG and learn what streets work on saving you more money!
Riddle me this, caped crusader? when is an employee no longer an employee? Right! When he stopped acting as a good employee and got their butt fired. An example of this was Rudy Giuliani getting disgraced and fired from his position of prominence by the American people. But he executed such an unappealing campaign, irritated so many people, transformed into such a self parody with his only issue being his flawed view of 911 and was seen to be such an arrogant bastard that he lost his frontrunner status, performed miserably in all primaries, lost to Ron Paul in all of them and finally had to quit. So he didn't perform as expected and he got fired by the people and by his own backers.
Likewise, ingrained patterns of what is acceptable standards for success in a society start to fade out of fashion when people start to discover that these patterns don? take them where they were told they would. The pattern we all learned as kids which asserted that you go to school, then attend university, find employment with a corporation and we retire at 65 with a retirement plan and a gift watch from the company was a moral code, an expectancy, a standard which went by the wayside as corporations went bankrupt, as colleges failed to properly educate to the extent that quite a few graduates are functionally illiterate.
Once upon a time in America parents one felt that they could trust people based on the occupation that they held, as an example parents would listen to their children's teachers and counselors even to the degree of when their young would get false labels (ADHD) and be put on dangerous psychotropic drugs. But now that parents are discovering the side effects of these drugs, including homicidal and suicidal ideation, more and more parents are protesting the demands of psych operatives in the school system and are fighting back there.
When failed programs are discovered then they get overthrown. Until just a couple of years ago most folks thought the Federal Reserve was needful and that taxes were an unavoidable fact of existence. Now go and ask someone about the Federal Reserve, especially if they have debt or property (the same thing) and see how their opinion has changed. Due to the expose by Aaron Russo and his movie America Freedom to Fascism and Dr Ron Paul and his unprecendented influence upon political discussion in America. Because of these patriots and others like Ed and Elaine Brown of New Hampshier and Wesley Snipes and others the common folks are discovering that the Federal Reserves is as Federal as Federal Express, that the federal income tax is unconstitutional and one of the biggest scams in history and even the necon GOP candidates are calling for reform in their platforms.
And speaking about scams, there is one more who's end has come. One that you can decide to stop being a victim of right here and right now. When Big Oil start crumbling because thousands of people every month find out that there are effective alternatives to gasoline in hydrogen burning conversions based on water which save car owners thousands of dollars, help clean the environment instead of destroying it and help their cars perform more optimumly... that is another example of a failed system or industry being replaced by a better one. And one that is long overdue. A car one hundred years ago attained 40% higher fuel efficiency than today. That is criminal incompetence and a gigantic scam and you no longer need to be the victim of it. is offering information for a nominal fee which individuals can use at home to create a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their vehicle runs on. The process makes bite sized particles out of the ones that the engine uses as fuel. Therefore it is able to use a lot more of it. By doing this you can reasonably expect to reduce your fuel usage by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. With W4G gasoline is made usable so you can reduce your fuel usage. It also helps make emissions substantially cleaner. This package of info has been purchased by over 9000 individuals already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you? So I welcome you to the revolution!
