4 Tips to Improve Fuel Efficiency

By Roger Cruz Platinum Quality Author
We live in a world where the price of fuel keeps on increasing with each passing day. The fuel crisis is looming over our heads, which has resulted in a global rise in oil prices. The rising gas prices are always blamed for the sad demise of the American Muscle Cars and now it has even started a new era in the car industry. Nowadays, cars are designed to give a better mileage, and fuel efficiency is a top priority for each and every buyer who comes to a car dealership. .
First of all, you should fill up your tank to the brim, take a note of the fuel efficiency of your car, and ascertain whether your car meets the industry standards when it comes to being fuel-efficient or not. You can insert a fuel additive in your tank to increase the fuel efficiency of your ride and make it run for a longer distance.
You can replace the old air filter of your car with a new and advanced one that matches with your car model. The fuel efficiency of your car can be increased tremendously by replacing your spark plugs and the wires connecting the battery. The spark plugs often wears off after prolonged usage and faulty spark plugs can cause the car to lose mileage.
You can also increase the fuel efficiency of your car by draining the old motor oil and replace the stock oil filter with a new one from an auto repair shop. A good oil filter will help keep the oil temperature fluctuations at bay and keep the engine running at a higher efficiency.
Last but not the least, keep your tire pressure constant and have it checked from time to time to ensure maximum fuel efficiency.
If you are serious about lowering your gas bill, you might want to consider riding a scooter instead. The Panterra Scooter and the Schwinn motor scooter are great fuel saving alternatives to driving a car.

Zero Emission Car


Now companies are marching toward envisioning and inventing new zero emission car in their research and development desk. They try all kinds of ingenuity and creativity to achieve this goal. Resources and energy are being directed and allocated for this trend. This is a nice move since we all know that unrenewable resources like the gasoline and petroleum that we use today is only depleting natural resources and creating an imbalance in nature itself which is life supporting mechanism for our future survival. If we could create zero emission car with the capability of mass production and affordable price for the general public it will be feasible to envision free emission city of the future. Noiseless, free emission car will create a more environmentally friendly transportation system which is conducive to child's brain development which needs clean air, and also help to calm down the human hectic days by being noiseless. In this case domination by big industries could be reduced or diversified by distributing these abilities and capacities to smaller companies around the world and creating a better, valuable, and environmentally friendlier cars suitable for the clean up the world campaign from toxic pollutants of the air, land and water. Reducing the domination of big companies is helpful in distributing authorities and stopping the stranglehold upon the world resources by certain groups of big businesses which also tend to stop the creativity to make a cleaner technology. All of these developments are geared towards achieving new way of living free of air pollution, traffic congestion, and clean up the world campaign. This should be the main motivation of future car shows, technical meeting, and research and development board. If this vision could be instilled upon our bright young generation it would be easier to manifest and implement this polity into a tangible political decision of governments of the world in the future.

Exotic Car


After so many years we are experimenting with cars. There are now many new modifications of exotic cars. Cars which are pollution free. Cars using alternative energy resource : hydrogen, fuel cell, solar panel, electric, and hybrid. But now, wow, ... yes. Car that could fly. Terrafugia is the name of the company that builds it. In third world countries like Indonesia we have not been able to see it first hand. But free and clean energy for all of us is our heritage. Soon our planet will be experimenting with many kinds of transportation system using abound and plentiful natural resource without resorting to old way of polluting the air and creating noise pollution as well. For now those kinds of things might be just a dream. But notice just how quickly we turn dream into reality. So if you have exotic dream of a car, a house, our future planet, ecosystem, whatever it is dream it into reality. Dream it alive. Do not think that as long as an idea is not backed up by scientific rational or proven method there is no way that an exotic idea could not manifest itself into reality. This is true. Bring your child with the eyes of wonderment into magic, if they are gifted at scientific concept bring them visionary ideas related to their talents. If they are psychic do not just ignore or deny them as lunatic. Exotic car or exotic civilization is our vehicle to dream alive our deepest purpose on this dimension. And what's more we could achieve this apex of civilization with the playful countenance, not the serious scientist, or ambitious businessmen with competitors and risk up there in their mind. Those unpleasant mind is an ancient relics, or artifacts of ancient way of thinking. The routine which is boring might not go on like this to eternity. This is purely just our habit, our programming, and our tendency to repeat into the same cycle over and over again. If the mass consciousness want to end all of those habit today certainly we could achieve that.

The New Car


Everyone loves to have a new car. Even the kids do understand which car is stylish, comfortable to drive, and so on. But middle income family could not afford to buy a trendy new and stylish car. Even their kids know about this. Nowadays, there are also clean car, the car who does not emit toxic fume from its exhaust system. It includes the Honda FCX which uses hydrogen as its fuel. In the future such clean cars might be abound on this planet that most of us could afford to have it no matter what economic background we are in. Here in Indonesia old cars are still used as transportation although many new cars now abound on the street. But as a culture we need a clean car which does not emit dangerous substances to the air. And a car which is silent but move swiftly on the streets since today’s car are noisy. You know one of the biggest pollution on our planet is noise pollution. Our energetic body is actually susceptible to the vibration or noise. There will come the day that the scientific research will approve to this testimony. Maybe as science fiction depict it clearly future transportation on this earth will also be able to fly like a plane or UFO or whatever it is. In those days there will no longer the need for the technology that is based on un-renewable fossil fuel, or the air polluting coal, or whatever engine that emits noise pollution. Free and clean energy will be for everyone’s legal privilege. There will no longer the need to be at the apex of the capital pyramid and enjoy the luxury of all the wealth while at the base of this pyramid is the needy, hungry, illiterate, hard working labor. The future of us is the brighter future in which all the kids have their right to pursue their dream of a lifetime to express and fulfill their real purpose on earth. Not just the routine of the day where you should wake up at a certain time and go study. But where job, leisure hour, and enjoyable moment could in fact be blended together without any strict limitation or tough separation. Could you imagine a lifestyle such as this? You comment please.

Beautiful Sky and Fresh Water

Do you agree that all we want is clear or clean sky and the fresh or healthy water? I think all people should agree to this statement. But nowadays the air pollution from car industry and big businesses are so widespread. Even some of Indonesian forests are now on fire this too contributes to global air pollution. Since if one is polluting the air actually it is the whole air on our planet in some form or another is polluted cause the air is just floating anywhere without boundary. The same thing goes with the water. If people kept polluting the land with dangerous chemical, cutting down trees on the mountain slope, then it stands to reason that the spring water is getting smaller, and the ground water might be polluted by what people just dump on the land. The cycle is finally affecting all of us on a micro scale. We might not directly feel the effect of what we do to our environment but over the long period there will come many evidence. The medical community which is dedicated in monitoring the effect of global pollution will attest to this statement. So before it is too late it is better to teach our children to care for the environment, pay attention to what they eat and loving a healthy body and clean environment where bio-diversity could once again flourish and mother nature have the right to continue its life supporting nature.
Our behavior to nature and our wisdom to clean the air and water will give the clearest voice to the children who can see and feel most of what we did rather than what we said. Bring yourself this awareness as the new gift for the better tomorrow. It does not matter who you are or what you do there is always something you can give to create the better future for the whole generation and the planet. Sea life, and coral reef, various kinds of fish species will be able to survive if we just pay close attention to their cycle of life and their environment.
