We can reduce gas prices, and in many cases reduce our expenses in other areas, by reducing the demand for petroleum products. How do we reduce demand? Easy. Reduce consumption. Here are some suggestions on how to do that:

1. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Improperly inflated tires reduce gas mileage. Most tires should be inflated to 32-35 psi, but look on your tires for specific numbers.

2. Make sure your engine is properly tuned. An out of tune engine wastes gas and money. Have it checked.

3. When you stop at a stop light, stay stopped until the light is green. Don’t try to ease up a little at a time – this not only wastes gas, but wears out your brakes sooner than normal.

4. Accelerate slowly. Rapid acceleration (“jack rabbit starts”) wastes gas.

5. Use synthetic oil whenever you change or have your oil changed. Since it’s synthetic, you are not using a petroleum product therefore you are reducing demand. Most cars actually get better gas mileage with synthetic oil, so it’s a win win.

6. Whenever possible, use alternative fuels such as biodiesel or E85. They not only reduce petroleum consumption, but they are cheaper and better for the environment. Unfortunately, they are not widely available yet in most places, but start asking about them when you buy gas and fuel distributors will begin to get the message; if they think there is a market, they will supply that market.

7. Don’t rush out to buy a new car… but if you are in the market for one anyway, consider buying a more fuel efficient car or even a hybrid car. Hybrid cars are more expensive but you can get a federal tax credit which will offset much of the extra expense and if you do a lot of driving, the money you save on gas will offset the rest.

8. Carpool.

Do you wanna hear something that sucks!!?

Even if EVERYBODY in the world started driving hybrid cars, then in about 10 years RUNAWAY GLOBAL WARMING will start.

And that means that even if humans vanished off the face of the earth, the earth would still get worse not better. So in about 10 years we are all gonna start to fry, faster and faster until the ice caps melt and we are all swamped! If new orleans thought they had it bad from katrina, they had better think again cause for every kilometre that those SUVs drive there will be a hundred dead people.

We need desperately to start somewhere to reduce global warming. We can contribute on an individual level by choosing to buy cars that reduce emissions and gas consumption.
