Rising Gas Price, Save Gas

Gas prices have been spiraling out of control for months, and there is no end in sight.
Increased gas prices do not just hit you when you fill up your tank though. Just think
about it for a minute and you will realize how many other ways rising oil and gas
prices will cost you. The price of airline travel and shipping services are likely
to rise, as is the cost of many other goods as retailers are forced to pay more for
delivery.

You may even see your property taxes increase as towns have to pay more to keep their
police cars, fire engines, and garbage trucks on the road.

pump as possible.

So how can I save money on gas?

While there is little you can do about the market price of a barrel of oil, there are
ways to keep down your own personal costs at the gas pump. Here are some suggestions:

Don't pay extra for premium gas if you don't need it. Consult your owners manual
and stick to the recommended octane. Most cars run just fine on regular unleaded
gas and you will get no extra performance by using premium gas.

Shop around. Keep a watchful eye and you'll be surprised at how much prices can
vary from one gas station to the next. I've seen differences of eight to ten cents
per gallon between gas stations directly across the street from one another. Seems
like a small difference but it adds up over time.

Schedule your errands to minimize drive time, or if possible walk.

Travel light. Keeping your car and backseat loaded down wastes fuel as it requires
more energy to move a heavier car. Take only the essentials (a spare tire, first-aid
kit, jumper cables, etc.) with you.

Slow down. The faster you drive the fewer the miles you will get per gallon.

Drive steady. Avoid quick stops and accelerations that waste fuel. Anticipate braking
ahead of time and ease onto the gas pedal rather than flooring it.

Maintenance is key. Keeping your engine tuned and tires inflated can make a
difference in your fuel consumption. Under-inflated tires create drag which causes
the engine to use more energy to propel the car. Plus, it is unsafe to drive on tires
that have too little or too air in them.

If you are in the market for a new car, consider models that are more fuel efficient.

Use the air conditioner judiciously. There are two schools of thought on this one.
The first says you will burn less fuel with the windows down and the AC off. The
second says that driving with the windows open creates drag, which wastes more fuel
than would be used if the AC was on and the windows up.

So which one is true? Well...both of them really. The car will consume more fuel
with the air conditioner on and the windows down, up to about 45-50 miles per hour.
As you drive faster, the drag caused my the open windows will actually cause high
fuel consumption.

So the rule of thumb is this: keep the AC off and the windows down when you are
cruising around town and on city streets. Once you reach the highway or about 50 mph,
roll up the windows and turn the on the AC.

Using these tips will help you save money on gas. While you may not notice a huge
difference with each fill up, the savings will compound with each fresh tank. Aluminum Bracket Part Diecastings

Gasoline Flu epidemic

Ravaging the globe in biblical proportions is the Gasoline Flu epidemic. Early signs include depleted budgets, indecision whether to drive or eat for the day, incessant complaining, and fear of the future.

Transport industries such as trucking, shipping, etc., found a temporary solution to the Gasoline Flu – pass the rising Gasoline costs down to us consumers of such necessities as food, clothing and shelter.

Government response is to lift current requirements on Gasoline, so lower grade Gasoline can be released. Hmmm….let me think here – lower grade Gasoline results in further Gasoline Flu complications such as dirtier engines which ultimately create an even greater need for more Gasoline and maintenance in order to function at all. That remedy looks like a “Catch 22” for sure!

Intensifying Gasoline Flu complications occurs when consumers opt to forego basic maintenance like having the oil changed regularly, replacing spark plugs, keeping the engine tuned, or properly inflating tires for 50¢ (every penny counts!).

STOP!!! Take a deep breath. Listen!

You are not helpless when it comes to the Gasoline Flu epidemic. You don’t have to sell your firstborn in order to purchase a tank of Gasoline. You can be proactive simply by immunizing your truck, car, etc.

Let’s take a closer look at why we need to immunize against Gasoline Flu in the first place.

All Gasoline, regardless of gas, bio-diesel, or diesel Gasoline, contains sulfur and water. Sulfur and water when combined form sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid damages your engine and when not burned off, leaves behind carbon deposits that attach to vital organs inside the engine, e.g., spark plugs, Gasoline injectors, valves, etc. They can even be forced into your oil.

Carbon deposits in your engine create a sluggish response, increased toxic emissions and less miles per gallon. So, the primary focus to immunize against Gasoline Flu should be on how to eliminate and prevent carbon deposits from forming.

Now, don’t go running out and frantically buying “spot” treatments such as Gasoline injector cleaners, new spark plugs, or Gasoline conditioners -- that may even clog your engine further -- in a futile effort to immunize your vehicle.

Save Money While Improving Your Gas Mileage

Vehicle owners nationwide have the same complaint; the high price of gasoline. It's as if you're going to work just to pay for the gas to fill up your tank. Everyone knows when the price of oil goes up, the cost of everything else rises. And the price of keeping your engine running smooth always puts you back in the hole financially.


People who dwell in larger cities constantly breathe in poisons released in the air. Research on this pollution problem is well established. Pollutants coming from cars and trucks are responsible for lung disease, lung cancer and asthma. But that's not all. New research has shown that the poisons coming from our cars and trucks are responsible for increases in many types of cancers, heart disease, and even Alzheimer's disease.


An Easy Way to Help Stop Pollution and Save Your Lungs
A good suggestion would be to find a product that reduces toxicity in the air, while extending the life expectancy of your car's engine. Ideally, the product should be effective when used in small amounts and be unique (can be used in gasoline, diesel, RFG, biodiesel, and propane). This product is known as a fuel catalyst, which has been used successfully for over 9 years by thousands of people, as well as city governments, large trucking lines, railroads, farming, and boating companies.


Save Money While Improving Your Gas Mileage.
Your product should save you money by reducing fuel consumption and engine maintenance, in addition to the positive environmental effects. If your product can supercharge your gas, you'll spend less but drive further on every tank of gas! Getting up to 35 increase in gas mileage would certainly be worth your money and time. Just make sure that your product is affordable, yet able to work in all gas vehicles.

To recap, you should look for a product that (a) doesn't poison our air, (b) keeps our lungs healthy and strong, and (c) stop wasting money on gas and engine repair. Let's keep Planet Earth fresh for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.

Ways to Save Fuel

In these days of record high fuel prices affecting already stretched budgets, many of us are looking for tips on fuel savings. Unfortunately, most tips are “no-brainers”.

Some suggest staying within posted speed limits because “…the faster you drive, the more fuel you use.” Daah !!! Explain that to a teenager!

Oh, here’s one – “combine errands”. Come on, anyone who runs a household figured that one out eons ago, just to maintain sanity.

Here’s another I just love – remove excess weight. Hmm… let me think, I can make the kids walk to their sports events or mall, and meet them when they arrive. And, of course, ban any friends from catching a ride. But then again, when the riot occurs, the police will have to use their fuel instead.

After much research, here’s a few fuel savings tips I found that actually make sense:

1. Depending on a vehicle’s condition, you can increase fuel savings simply by keeping your engine tuned.

2. Maintaining proper inflation of tires can increase fuel savings by up to 6%.

3. Replace air, oil, and fuel filters regularly. Clogged filters decrease fuel savings.


But the best tip to date is this simple fuel savings solution:


A small Power Pill, the size of a penny, that can be dropped into the tank at fill up. Here’s what the PowerPill does:

· Provides fuel savings averaging 15% on cars and 20% on diesel trucks

· Conditions the engine by cleaning it, resulting in eliminating and preventing what is known as “carbon deposits”, the culprit behind decreased fuel savings.

· Lowering octane requirements, thus saving an additional 5¢ to 10¢ per gallon.

· More savings on maintenance by extending the life of spark plugs, valves, engine, and frequent oil changes.

· Environmental benefits by significantly reducing toxic pollutants, which in essence allows us to breathe cleaner air and live longer.
