Best Fuel Saving Tips
Best fuel saving tip is obviously to switch to a “green car”, fuel guzzling cars are dinosaurs!
1. Keep your foot off the accelerator when switching on the ignition –
most cars wont need the extra revs!
2. Try not to fill the tank completely up – run at half full to reduce weight.
3. Forget the throttle and only use engine breaking when going downhill.
4. Reduce driving speeds where possible – higher speeds use more fuel.
5. Avoid air conditioning where and when possible (unless if it is a heatwave).
6. Regularly check tire pressure – under inflated tires use more fuel and need replacing more regularly.
7. Turn the engine off if stationary for more than ten seconds.
8. Reduce loads – clear your boot of unnceccesary junk
9. Reguarly check air and fuel filters as well as spark plugs – clogged filters can reduce efficiency.
10. Roof racks increase drag – take them off when not in use.
How will Ethanol fuel benefit as its price is really no different than gasoline?
I see just as many cons to ethanol as pros.
“Its a renewable resource that is made from crops grown in the USA. No OPEC”
Hmmm. That is the answer at its very basic. Have you done any other research to be able to say whats going on with it?

Can my car handle biodiesel fuel?
I have heard a lot about how good biodiesel is for the environment, and that it actually cleans the air. I think that it’s a really great alternative to fossil fuel, and I want to start using it with my car (a new Subaru Forrester)
However, I’ve heard that biodiesel can be really bad for your engine if you don’t have a relatively new diesel car. Then just the other day I read in an article that it works fine with any newer cars. Please tell me if my car (again, a subaru forrester) can handle it!!
