With the rising cost of gas prices and no end in sight everyone wants to save as much money at the gas pump as they possibly can.

Do you remember when you could fill your tank for 10 BUCKS or less? Who do the oil companies think they’re conning?

You and I can’t control the price of gas but by following the current and up-to-date know-how of fuel economy, the tips and tricks, the truth . . .and not the old myths you can quickly and easily start saving significantly on your gas bill.

There is a lot of expert advice available which you can implement instantly so you can start saving money today. Here are some little known tips and tricks you can try out.

1. Paying for your gas the smart way

One of the ways that you can save money at the gas pump is by using a gasoline credit card. When you have a gas card you’ll be able to get 5 or 10 percent rebate back on the purchase of your gas. This can amount to as much as $75 to $300 each year. Many gasoline companies are joining up with other retailers to give you numerous savings at the gas pump.

2. Buy your gas in the morning or evening

Gasoline becomes denser in colder temperatures. Gas pumps are set to measure the volume of the fuel that you pump and not the density. This means that if you fill up your gas tank in the cooler morning temperatures, or in the colder evening hours, that you’ll be getting better gas price economy. Try to fill up your gas tank later in the evening to avoid the rush of day hours.

The next 2 tips will be surprising to you I’m sure.

3. Buy gas from a busy station

Try to buy your gas from a gas station that is consistently busy and therefore has its underground tanks filled on a regular basis. Gas stations that are slow will have gas that has been sitting in underground tanks for longer periods of time, leading to gas contamination. This contamination can mean that the gas you are purchasing is less powerful than fresh gas and will decrease your fuel economy.

4. Turn the nozzle

When you have finished filling up your gas tank try turning the nozzle of the hose a full 180 degrees. This will drain a bit more gas into your tank; in some cases up to an entire half cup that would otherwise be a bonus to the next gas customer. That half cup each time adds up to a lot over the year!

These are just some of the great ways to save on gas!

How Can I Improve My Gas Mileage?

Filed under: Cheaper Utility bills — Tags: Improve, Mileage — admin @ 1:38 am

How can I improve my gas mileage? I have been asking myself that question for a long time now. We have all had a good old moan every time that the price of gas has risen when we have gone to fill up, and like me most of us have just accepted it and done nothing about it. Now with the ever increasing price of oil, and with little sign of a drop in the price of gas at the pumps, it seems even more important to find ways to increase gas mileage.

So just how can I improve my gas mileage? and what are the main things about the way I drive that would cause low gas mileage? Well I have done a bit of research and have come up with a few simple ways to increase gas mileage just by improving my driving technique. They are only small things and most are just common sense, things like finding the optimum speed for gas mileage, and keeping my car and its engine regularly serviced, but all these little things together can add up and give you some real gas mileage improvements.

First of all fast driving and good gas mileage just do not go together, the faster you drive the more gas you use, and everyone knows that. But did you know that a car travelling at 80mph can use up to twice the amount of gas as a car travelling at 30mph. For most cars a cruising speed of around 50mph will give you significant gas mileage improvements. So you could say that “fifty is thrifty.”

Another of the ways to increase gas mileage is the way we drive when it come to climbing a hill, try not to stay in a high gear for too long, this not only puts a strain on your engine it also uses more gas. Whenever possible try to build up enough speed before you reach the hill, this way you will have the momentum to climb the hill at a constant speed without having to keep changing down and revving the engine. Don’t try coasting down a hill in neutral or with the ignition switched off to try to save on gas, not only is it dangerous as you do not have full control of the car it is also illegal and any fuel saving is negligible.

If you have a vehicle with a manual gearbox then changing gear at the right time can also give you good gas mileage improvements. Always accelerate gently and smoothly and try to change gear at between 2000 and 3000 rpm, the engine speed at which most cars run efficiently. If you have an automatic gearbox then always drive with the lever in the “drive” position as an automatic will sense for itself when to change gear economically. If you do need to override the gearbox manually then select the low or intermediate position rather than use the “kick-down” as this too increases gas consumption.

These are just a few simple ways to increase gas mileage, and added together you should be able to notice a drop in your gas consumption and so save a few dollars at the pumps. But while I was looking for ways to increase gas mileage I read about something that could give even better gas mileage improvements. With the new HHO gas mileage devices available you could cut your gas bill by 35% or more so I think that I will be doing a lot more research on this for a while.

Discover for yourself great ways to increase gas mileage and cut your gasoline consumption in half with simple step-by-step guides to show you how.

Top Ten Ways to Improve Gas Mileage. Simple Tips to Get More Mpg for Your Car

Filed under: Cheaper Utility bills — Tags: Improve, Mileage, More, Simple, Tips, Ways — admin @ 3:27 pm

Lets face it the price of gas is still rising and there is very little chance that it will ever fall back down to what it was. In fact the experts are predicting that it is going to get a lot worse, and this is sending many drivers into a frenzy trying to find ways to improve gas mileage and squeeze every last drop of gas out of their cars to get more MPG.

So just what can we do to get more MPG from our cars? Just a quick look on the internet will turn up hundreds of so called “gas mileage devices” that promise to get more MPG from your engine. Now I’m not saying that all these gas mileage devices are scams, but a lot of them sound pretty far fetched. With this in mind I have done some research and come up with ten ways to improve gas mileage using tips that most experts agree actually work.

1) This one is so obvious that it often gets overlooked. Make sure that your gas cap is in good condition and that the seal is not worn or broken. A loose or poor fitting gas cap will allow gas vapour to leak out, wasting precious fuel. As much as 17 gallons of gas a year can be lost due to a faulty gas cap. Also if and when you do replace it make sure you get a locking one as the rise in gas prices increases the rise in gas theft.
2) Stick with the right type of gas for your particular vehicle by using the correct octane rating that is recommended for it. A higher octane rated fuel such as premium will have little benefit for an engine designed to run on regular gas.
3) Don’t let your engine idle for long periods. An engine that idles for 15 minutes can waste up to a gallon of gas.
4) Drive at a reasonable speed. The faster you drive the less fuel efficient your engine is, keeping your speed down is one of the best ways to improve gas mileage.
5) Make sure that your air filter is cleaned regularly. A clogged air filter will drastically reduce your fuel efficiency, so check it on a regular basis, especially if you drive on dirt roads where it will clog up quicker.
6) Don’t forget your other filters. Routinely check your fuel filter and the PCU valve and breather filter. Replacing these can improve gas mileage by up to 15%
7) Get a mechanic to check your oxygen sensors. A faulty oxygen sensor can send more gas to the engine than it really needs to run efficiently.
8) Don’t be a jack-rabbit driver. Always accelerate and break slowly (except in an emergency obviously). Fast accelerating and aggressive breaking will also reduce your fuel economy.
9) Keep your tires in good condition and check pressures regularly. A flat tire is a drag and will cost you gas.
10) Try to keep your weight down. All that junk you carry around in your trunk (the stuff you never use) is just adding to your gas bill.

These are just 10 simple ways to improve gas mileage and get more MPG for your car. There are many more and most of them are just common sense, so even if you don’t invest in one of the new gas mileage devices on sale you can still make some savings and get more MPG for your car.

Discover for yourself even more ways to make real gas mileage improvements and cut your gasoline consumption in half with simple Step-By-Step guides to show you how.

Ways To Improve My Gas Mileage

Filed under: Cheaper Utility bills — Tags: Improve, Mileage, Ways — admin @ 3:19 am

As gas prices continue to rise I find myself looking for tips on how to improve my gas mileage. I have found that there are actually plenty of easy ways to save hundreds of dollars per year on your gas bill simply by keeping your car in the best possible condition and changing a few driving habits. Below you will find some good tips to improve your gas mileage.

When it comes to routine maintenance, the first thing you’ll have to do is to make sure that your tires are well inflated. Low tires pressure increases drag and will reduce your car’s fuel efficiency. Properly inflated tires help to save money and will also prevent premature wear and tear. To determine the appropriate tire pressure, you should consult the owner’s manual and inspect the tire’s sidewalls and tread depth. Wheel alignment is also important, as improper alignment causes unnecessary tire wear. Check the alignment about every 10,000 miles. Rotating and balancing will also extend the life of the tire. A regular tune up also improves gas mileage. Replace your air filter; a new air filter can reduce fuel consumption by 10 %. Other factors that will lead to lower fuel efficiency are; misaligned wheels, worn wheel bearings and brakes, dirty fuel filters, damaged spark plugs, and missed oil changes. By following basic maintenance guidelines on your car, you will cut back on the amount of fuel your car needs to run.

In addition to regular maintenance you can get better gas mileage by altering a few of driving habits. First, plan your route in advance to avoid the stop and go traffic of a backed up road or highway. Tune in traffic reports for news of delays. Second, try to utilize your cruise control and maintain a constant speed. Third, Sudden or unnecessary braking consumes more gas. At traffic lights, avoid the temptation to rev up your engine, instead, slowly accelerate as you leave an intersection. Fourth, roll up your windows, and turn on the air conditioner. Rolling up your windows and using the air conditioner can boost gas mileage! This holds true especially on freeways, where the drag from open windows can be a drag on your car’s fuel efficiency. Then again, you can save gas by parking your vehicle in the shade. Once you get in the car, open the windows for a couple of minutes to allow any trapped hot air to escape. Finally, filling your car and trunk with unnecessary items makes the vehicle heavier, meaning you will burn more gas.

If the high price of gas is still getting you down you might consider a conversion kit to burn water and gas. Can water really power a car? The answer is yes, it can! You are able to use electricity from your car’s battery to separate water into a gas called HHO also called Brown’s Gas or Hydroxy, which, burns smoothly and provides significant energy. HHO provides the atomic power of Hydrogen, while maintaining the stability of water. Water can be used to fuel a car when used as a supplement to gasoline. As a matter of fact, very little water is needed. Only one quart of water provides over 1800 gallons of HHO gas, which can literally last for months and significantly increase your vehicle’s fuel efficiently, improve emissions quality, and save you money.

These are just some of the ways to improve gas mileage. Gas prices are rising day by day and there are a lot of people that are buying cars that use less gas. If you’re not one of them, and you don’t want a hybrid car, then you should know that there are many ways to improve the gas the mileage on any car. Even the slightest improvement could help you spend a lot less money on gas each year.

How to Use 1 Quart of Water to Run Your Car and Improve Gas Mileage

Filed under: Cheaper Utility bills — Tags: Improve, Mileage, Quart, Water — admin @ 12:40 pm

In an age where gas prices are soaring…and people are having to make decisions like these:

”Do I pay my electric bill, or fill up the tank?”

”Do I get food for the house, or fill up my tank?”

”Do I take my kid to the ball game, or fill up my tank?”

Almost everyone is facing these challenges in this era of rising fuel costs.

Once thought to be a minor household expense, the common fuel budget has now grown to major proportions. Most people are searching for alternatives…and following is one of them.

Wouldn’t you like to be able to “run your car on water?” Running a car on water is a dream for most, but not for you…and here’s the basic ingredients you need to be able to do just that:

* 1 quart of distilled water.

* Common household electrolyte.

* A conversion device to convert water flow into HHO and add it to the vehicle’s air stream to burn with fuel.

* A fuse to protect the entire circuit.

* The vehicle’s battery to power the installation.

Installed in the air injection area of the fuel system properly, this system will use electricity from your car’s battery to convert the water into HHO (Brown’s Gas), inject it into the fuel stream, increasing burn efficiency and essentially running your vehicle on a water and fuel mix.

Pretty cool huh? Wouldn’t it be great to drive by a few gas pumps every now and then? If you could save just $50 a month, that equates to over $600.00 a year back in your pocket.

The best part is, to run a car using this “1 quart of water” installation, equates to a trip distance of approximately two tankfuls of gas (results can vary by vehicle). So, you get increased fuel economy and huge savings on your gas bill as a result of doing this conversion.

More benefits to you for doing this HHO conversion:

- Your car’s engine runs smoother and has more power.

- You can reduce the CO2 emissions that are a result of combustion.

- You can reduce wear and tear on your engine.

- Obviously, you will pass a few more gas pumps, right?

- Your engine will operate at an overall lower temperature.

- You could qualify for the IRS Green Fuel tax break (see IRS website).

This conversion also works for diesel vehicles, so even if you own a diesel, you can perform the installation and get your car to run on water (HHO) and have all of the benefits described above.

Look, gas prices aren’t coming down any time soon, so shouldn’t you be investigating every possibility to save money on gas? I am, and using this method is saving me tons of cash per month on my fuel bill. I have been able to take my son to a ball game with the extra cash.

Obviously, I couldn’t detail the entire “run car on water” installation process right here, and you should also know that you are not truly running a car totally on water using this methodology…rather mixing fuel with “Brown’s Gas” (HHO) in the airstream.

There are complete systems available that contain complete guides, the conversion device described above, and other materials necessary to complete this conversion on your vehicle.

Do you want to know right now how YOU can drive around using water as fuel and LAUGH at rising gas prices, and at the same time REDUCE emissions and have a smoother running car? Click here to find out the full running your car on water secret and get all of your questions answered… –Joseph Ratliff
