Congress does so many nefarious things in the course of a day that some get missed. Yesterday's bill which passed the House by a margin of 324 to 84 (big enough to override a presidential veto) would make it possible for the Justice department (why the Justice department?) to seek damages from OPEC countries for oil price manipulation including limiting the supply of oil. This legislation, if it passes the Senate, would force OPEC countries including the Saudis, the Iranians and Venezuela to follow the same antitrust laws that the ?American? corporations must heed. The legislation also creates a Justice Department task force to aggressively investigate gasoline price gouging and energy market manipulation. Some of the things that are unacceptable about this proposal follow Retaliation - The number of instances where I agree with Bush's White House are very very few and far between but we agree that this legislation is a bad idea. The White House issued a statement stating that to target the OPEC countries would only anger them to retaliate against us and do more of what they are doing that is being objected to The administration said less oil going to refineries would limit available gasoline supplies and raise fuel prices. Duh! Globalism ? Just how does one country sue another country without a world court of some kind? So, for one country to sue another is a step towards globalism since the United Nations or some other such organization is going to have to gain new powers not granted by our Constitution. How else could it be heard? We need to cease this continuous march towards globalism. Wrong Target ? These criminals in Congress have no shame and they must really believe that noone is watching. They think that they can fool all of the people all of the time? Uh uh! They try to sue OPEC for manipulation and all but what about our ?American? automotive and oil corporations (which have Congress in their pockets)? For the last 13 years or so automotive manufacturers have been equipping all new cars with a computer sensor. What's it there for? It makes sure that your car doesn't get more MPG than the oil companies want your car to have! This is a fact and you can ask any mechanic worth his grease and he will confirm it for you. The answer to the skyrocketing price of gasoline lies in grassroots activism and new technologies but don't hold your breath for new technologies to come from corporations. That is working at cross purposes to their religion of the holy profit One such technology is Water4Gas. is sharing information for a nominal fee which individuals can use at home to put together a small device which instills hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their car runs on. The process makes bite sized particles out of the particles that the engine uses as fuel. Because of the smaller size it is able to use considerably more of the gas. By doing this you can minimumly expect to lower your gas usage by 30-50% or significantly more. Those particles must have been pretty darn huge in some engines before. But with WATER4GAS they are made usable so you can lower your gas usage. It also helps to lower emissions significantly. This information has been purchased by tens of thousands car owners already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?
One solution to this is obviously buying a smaller car - when driving less is not an option. You still need to go to work - no matter how high gas prices will go. Another way are products that you can use in your existing car to improve milage.
Unlike what most people think you don't always have to buy a new car to save gas. Think about it: The money you invest in a new car has to be compensated by saving gas. This will often takes years. But there are other things you can do to save fuel right now with the car you already own.
Read on to learn how you can save not only a little gas but an amount that will make a difference in your monthly budget.
One of the simplest gas-saving devices your car has already built-in is the cruise control device. Originally made to make it easier for drivers to hold a constant speed over a long distance, the cruise control turns out to be an excellent fuel-saving mechanism.
Be honest, did you ever receive a speeding ticket while at the time in question you were not aware that you were going too fast? This is the same automated mechanism that wasted gas each and every minute you drive.
The cruise control will save you gas because it keeps you from all the small 'acceleration boosts' that we perform almost subconciously while driving. Drivers tend to overreact when accelerating and when breaking. As a result alot of energy and gas is being wasted.
Accelerations are what causes your car to burn more fuel. The more you accelerate the more fuel is needed.
Are you frequently looking at your miles-per-hour gauge? If you are like most drivers you only do that when your know there is a chance you could get a speeding ticket.
The faster your car is going the more the engine has to run -and the more gas it will use. It is not that driving 10% faster means you use 10% more gas - your car uses much more than that. The faster the engine turns the more inefficient it will run.
Turn off any additional devices that use electricity. The biggest energy waster is the air-condition! Most people have it turned on by default wether they need it or not and are not aware that it uses much more gas.
As you can see, these are some fairly simple ways to take a little of the pain of filling up your car's gas tank away. In addition to that devices are available that will improve the efficiency of your engine substantially.
