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.
