101 Ways to Use Less Gas

Thursday, June 5, 2008 at 9:57am by admin

By Alisa Miller
I am guilty of this
Quote:
# Take out the junk. Make sure you aren’t carrying around too much extra stuff in your car or in the trunk. 100 pounds of added weight in your car will significantly affect your gas mileage.
Ironically enough it is usually stuff I am trying to take to the re-cyclers that sits there for weeks!

I also liked these
# Fill up at a quarter tank. Don’t wait until the gas gauge hits empty before you fill up. Filling up around a quarter tank is better for your fuel injection system, thus improving your gas mileage.
# Start slowly. Accelerating slowly uses less gas than putting the pedal to the metal. Leave the fast take-off for the race car drivers.
# Brake less. Don’t run into the car in front of you, but coasting more and braking less will use less gas.
# Check fluid levels. Low fluid levels will prevent your car from running at its peak. Get fluids to the appropriate levels and you’ll see better gas mileage. Learn which fluid levels are important and how to check them.
# Add a fuel injector cleaner. Each time you change the oil in your car, add a fuel injector cleaner to ensure your fuel injection system is performing at its peak.
Use synthetic motor oil. By reducing engine friction, synthetic oil will improve your gas mileage. Again, check your car manual to ensure this is a safe alternative.

all in all a great list

Sounds interesting! Can you repair the links to the article, though? I'd love to read the whole thing!

So many of these type articles are trite 'paper fillers'. This has some good ideas.

Re: D.I.Y Planet Cooling

I'm a little late to get into the initial part here, but if you are really interested in planet cooling, which I contend is a terrible thing to wish for, you can travel to Space weather.com, and then go check out the sunspots if you will note, there aren't any. and if you check the address window, it will show you that I am not cheating on the picture.

We should have been out of Sunspot Cycle 23 over one year ago, if you use the 11.2 year cycle average, but obviously we are not. This acquescing of Sunspots has been going on since 2005, and if the 4-7 year lag time holds accurate, you will all be getting what you wish: a cooler planet.

If we use the last two 178.7 year solar cycles, and extrapolate into the future, based upon data, here is what the cycles will look like, when matched together. Note that the current double cycle we are still in*(check the 2000-2020 date on the chart), are much lower than normal. In fact the next one, Sunspot Cycle 24, will be almost nonexistant. THis will result in a much cooler planet.



Sooo, if you are wishing for a cooler planet, your wish is about to come true, and Algore will be eating his words, OR most likely coming up with some Fantastic Excuse in the true Elmer Gantry Style.

*I use the term "double cycle" because ever cycle of solar sunspot activity results in a reverse of solar polarity. So, for every two sunspot cycles, you will see a return to the original polarity, where it starts over again.
