articles for IAW SAVE GAS; Use Hybrids

Hybrid cars have intelligent computers that sense your speed and your foot on the brake pedal to do this. Hybrids will save you cash at the pump, but will they save you cash over the long haul? They run about $5,000 to $10,000 higher than their other gas counterparts. They have the ability to convert braking power into electric energy and store them in their batteries. However this (induction) will only give you so much braking power.

Hybrids save gas by capturing energy, from braking and coasting, which would otherwise be wasted. That energy is converted to electricity and used to power the car, reducing emissions.

Idling your engine for one minute consumes the gas amount equivalent to when you start the engine. However, avoid long idles.

Idling for more than 10 seconds contributes to local air pollution and global warming. It also wastes gas and money. Idling quickly consumes gas and can add 50 percent to gas costs while shortening the effectiveness of your engine oil by 75 percent. And it's not doing anything for the longevity of your engine either.

Traffic jams , apart from being a major cause of lost productivity and frustration, are also a source of pollution and wasted gas. Idling cars are getting zero miles per gallon .

Accelerate slowly when the light turns green. Since you are coasting to a stop anyway so just try not to come to a complete stop. Accelerating moderately will save gas for YOU but not necessarily for all drivers as a group. If you are at a light and move leisurely away from the light, far fewer cars will be able to get through the light before it turns red again. This just makes other cars use more gas idling longer.

Accelerating uses far more gas than driving at a steady speed. Practice driving away from a stop and pretending you have an egg under your foot on top of the gas pedal.

Tires will lose about one pound of pressure per month all by themselves. Not only will the correct tire pressure help tires last longer, it can also save money in gas costs. Tires are permeable and can lose up to 2 psi (pounds of pressure) per month. More air is lost in hot weather as the pores in the tire material expand. Tires that are under inflated will cause gas consumption to increase by 6 percent.

Consumer Reports ran tests and found that at any speed, using the air conditioner burns more gas. People are used to low priced gas are seeking for methods to save cash. Lots of individuals with huge gas-guzzling automobiles such as trucks and sport utility cars (SUV) are getting anxious for more gas saving vehicles.

Instead of spending minutes scouring the parking lot for a parking space closest to the store or restaurant you are going to, take the first available one you spot even if it's a little further away. Not only will you be saving gas, you may find you are actually saving time this way due to not wasting time rounding the lot for a spot.

Instead of driving kids wherever they want to go, let them bicycle there. You can go with them to ensure that they stay safe and ride home with them whenever they are done. This definitely will save gas.

But in the final end of things, you and everyone else would do better if you would Drive Your Car Using Water.
