- Want another great gas saving tip? Get a manual transmission car. Not that fast to get used to drive with that stick, but have a look at this amazing stats and rethink your attitude to manual transmissions:
‘You’ll probably save about 5,000 gallons of gas and $30,000 or more by only driving cars with manual transmissions over the course of your lifetime’.
It is not that hard to learn manual transmission driving when you keep in mind the amount you save: $30,000 (what is the average lifetime expectancy I wonder?)
- Gas saving tips these days are properly mixed with alternative vehicles: Segway, two-wheeled balance powered by electric mobility – it is a saver to gas prices dependency? It is fun to read someone’s experience traveling on a 10 mile trip on that two wheel wonder though I feel discouraged once I am through. On the other hand these new vehicles DO have future, we need just make some changes to our infrastructure to let them enter our lives.
- If you do not know by this time who is responsible for current gas prices do not miss House Speaker Nancy Pelosi conclusions. We should have guessed that President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are to blame, but we were scared to say that. Pelosi’s point:
“There are plenty of opportunities that oil companies should explore before environmentally sensitive areas such as ANWR are open to drilling, pointing to the 33 million acres that have already been approved for offshore drilling and the 68 million acres of federal land in the lower 48 states that is open to exploration”.
- If you are not yet tired of all those typical saving tips reprinted daily in hundreds of blogs and sites I would re-list them once more time (this time they are published on thebachelorguy.com blog):
1 - Check Your Tires
2 - Change the Air Filter
3 - Lighten Your Load
4 - Check Your Spark Plugs
5 - Make Sure Your Cap is Tight
6 - Don’t Be Idle
I just wonder what amount of gas you can save following these ‘advanced’ fuel saving tips? Probably I should not be that ironic, but could anyone show me numbers – what is the effect of these fuel saving techniques?
- If you think that GasBuddy is the only service that aims to help desperate drivers to save cash on gas bills – you are wrong. Gas saving services pop up here and there weekly if not daily:
- share and compare your mpg with Fuelly.com
- find cheap gas using your cell phone and GasRunner.com (though their website does not look reliable and popular service, but probably the project is still in Beta.
- US set records exporting oil. Unbelievable, but true:
“A record 1.6 million barrels a day in U.S. refined petroleum products were exported during the first four months of this year, up 33 percent from 1.2 million barrels a day over the same period in 2007. Shipments this February topped 1.8 million barrels a day for the first time during any month, according to final numbers from the Energy Department.”
