No quick starts - lighten up on the accelerator.\nMaintain the recommended tire inflation for your car\nDon't exceed the speed limit. I do alot of highway driving-I use my cruise control on 65 mph and get good gas mileage.\nDon't let your car idle for long periods of time.\nUse the lowest octane gas that doesn't make your car's engine "knock".\nKeep your car's engine tuned up.  Replace spark plugs if necessary.  \nIf your car has fuel injection, occasionally put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in a full tank of gas. (I do this on long car trips)\nThere are probably more tips!

Decreased....your using energy not storing it

The gas-usage you noted is the only thing that I've heard of. That said, just because I haven't heard of it doesn't exist. Maybe someone knows more.\n\nYou might want to look around on the website for the NPR show "Car Talk." There's probably a button that allows you to send an e-mail directly to the hosts, too, if there isn't anything useful.

You can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide you are responisble for (your carbon footprint) by:\n- cutting down on car journeys and using the bus\n- change electricity supplier to one who only uses renewable sources\n- generate your own energy by having wind turbine or solar panels, or both!\n\nBy planting trees you are helping to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.\n\nYou should use eco-friendly washing products without the harmful chemicals.\n\nMake sure your food is as local as possible, you could try farmers markets.\n\nThere are countless things you could do to be more green.

LOL the magnetic fuel line saver thing is just a scam and has always been. Tests REPEATEDLY show that that does nothing. \n\nadd a few more PSI to the tires, and your driving habits affect MPG the most.

You could skip the Nitrogen Oxide and use Nitrous Oxide.   :o)

Fossil fuels: Reduce your car-miles.  Carpool, take public transportation, walk, or ride a bike.  Support the use of clean-burning fuels, like compressed natural gas.\n\nRefuse: Recycle plastics, paper, and metals.  Anything which can be used in any fashion should go to a resale shop.  Try to only use Type 1 and Type 2 plastics, which are easily recyclable.\n\nDon't flush anything besides rain water down storm drains.  \n\nWhen swimming or boating or camping or spending time in the wild, gather your trash and pack it out with you.

Conservation: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. \n\nStart yourself. Use your recycling bin, turn off the light after you leave a room, if you can walk or bike there don't use the car, donate to and/or shop at thrift stores...\n\nlook at the second link for more tips

Don't drive so much; take a bus, ride a bike, or walk.  Recycle.  Turn down the heat or A/C at home.

I would like to Change the Clinton/Gore EPA-OBD II Law. This applies to all Gasoline Powered Vehicles in the USA from 1996 to the Present, like Yours. This Law requires that all Vehicles remain Factory Stock, in order to Pass Inspection. Specifically, the Engine Fuel System must Run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. I've found a way to Convert Gasoline into Propane, 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. My Unit is Safe, Compact, and uses Low Pressure Air to do it's thing. 50 + MPG with even the Largest SUV, and a 10 X Reduction of Emissions. And, thanks to the EPA-OBD II Law, it's Illegal! When that Gestapo-Inspired Vehicle Inspection Device is Connected, any Change at all, even for the Better, and the Vhicle will Fail, and will be Illegal to Drive! Because it's not Putting out enough Pollution to meet [O]riginal [E]quipment [M]anufacturer's Specifications! This is Insane! I'm not the First, only the Latest. I've been to the US Patent Office to Check out the "Wild Stories" about Fuel Vaporizers that have been kept off the Market. Guess What? It's True! Case in Point, the Pogue Carburetor, with a Patented Claim of 100 MPG, with a Flathead Ford Engine Powered Vehicle that was 15 MPG!This was before WW II. So, as far as Getting a Patent, forget it! See, Greed and Money have Stopped it Every Single Time! And Now the EPA-OBD II Law....... Here's what I'd really Like to do to Expose the Hypocricy of this Law. I'd like to Restore and Convert a whole Fleet of Vehicles and Donate them to Charity Starting with the Local Meals-On-Wheels Program, then, Volunteer Disabled Veterans' Services.And so Many Others. There is no Shortage of Good People that want to Volunteer to Help the less Fortunate. But with the High Cost of Fuel, it's becoming Increasingly Difficult. Even if I did manage to get the Funds to do this, someone Connected with "Big Oil" would find a way to make One of the Converted Vehicles Explode, to Discredit it. Remember the TV News Show where the Chevy Truck with the "Side-Saddle" Fuel Tank was Rigged to Explode to Discredit It? See, all Petroleum is essentially the Same, on a Molecular Level. Only the Dispersal is Altered. If That's Wrong, then how is it that Engines DO Run on Propane? To do so by Conventional Means is such a Hassle that it's just not worth it! Hybirds? At Highway Speeds, the Gas [14.7 to1] Engine Kicks-In, Plus, the Heavy, Expensive Batteries have to be Hauled. To Sum Up, I'd like to change the EPA-OBD II Law that requires Vehicles to Emit Enough Pollution to Pass Inspection, with any reduction resulting in Failure. But, "IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN" as long as "Big Oil" is in Control! Watch Closely the Next Time Your Car is Inspected, and ask how many have Failed,and Why! 14.7 to 1. It's the Law that must Change!

HOW ABOUT A PERSONAL SOLUTION! I can offer some ideas that will help you save your own money on gas. This is done by a new fuel reformulator that was just released to the US public a few weeks ago after being tied up in govt. regulations for 10 years. You add a small amount of this formula to your gas tank every time that you buy gas. It increases your gas mileage by 7% to 19%. If you do the math, any mileage increase over 4% saves money in your pocket. It also makes older cars run better. The stuff has been tested by FOX News and NBC News affiliates. Check it out at http://www.saveongasoline.com/viabruce . Make sure you click on the MOVIES Tab to see the news reports. You can also get paid for sharing this news with others. Use the money that you make to buy a new hybrid car. Got more questions? boatclub@go.com Subject: = save gas

Nearly everything you buy or use cases uses energy to make it. To make energy (elecricity, gas, making your car go using petrol) creates carbon dioxide (CO2).\n\nTrees, plants and algae use up CO2 to make oxygen. So to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere (which is what I think you are asking) we all need to have enough plants change CO2 into Oxygen quicker than we're producing CO2.\n\nSo the best way to to practice "Waste Minimisation". The "waste heirarchy" is used to decide how to achieve this and can be applied to everything you use. It is...\n\nAvoidance \nRe-use \nRecycling \nRecovery of energy \nTreatment \nContainment \nDisposal. \n\nWhat this means is that the first thing you should try to do is avoid using it where possible. SO walk instead of using the car for example.\n\nIf you must use the product then try and buy something that you can re-use and re-use it as often os possible and so-on so that the LAST thing you do is dispose of something. By doing this you will make a simple and personal step to avoid waste and also avoid wasting energy and producing CO2.\n\nThe other thing you can do is to plant trees! They're great at using up carbon dioxide.
