    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Whoever you are, you're bound to feel the effects of the increase in the price of gas. The higher cost at the pump has left many families needing to tighten their purse strings. One way to cut your costs is to increase your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+mileage" rel="tag">gas mileage</a>. Ok, so this may sound like an obvious solution, but there are loads of easy ways to improve your gas mileage. <br /><br /> One of the best ways to improve gas mileage and economy is to keep your vehicle maintained in good condition. Try to make sure the tires are always fully inflated, as too little (or too much) pressure can have a significant impact on your gas mileage. Ensure that when your oil is changed you get your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/air+filter" rel="tag">air filter</a> inspected. Having a clean, working air filter also has an impact gas mileage. Making sure your car is well kept not only helps <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/efficiency" rel="tag">efficiency</a> with gas mileage, but also helps ensure your car lasts that bit longer. With people keeping a closer eye on their budgets, it's a good idea to make you car last that bit longer. <br /><br /> You can also increase your gas mileage by watching your driving habits. There are several routine habits of many drivers that can have an impact on gas mileage. The main change one can make to help improve gas mileage is to reduce your speed. By driving at or below the speed limit you can singifcantly improve your gas mileage, not to mention reducing your likelihood of having an accident. When driving in the city, it's a good idea to try and avoid <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sudden+acceleration" rel="tag">sudden acceleration</a>, which greatly decreases gas mileage. Similarly, quick and excessive breaking can also use more gas. To get the most usage out of each gallon, try to avoid these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bad+habits" rel="tag">bad habits</a> at all times. Riding the break is a common practice of younger or new drivers suffering from a lack of confidence and is a bad habit to develop, particularly in relation to fuel consumption. <br /><br /> If you are looking to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/buy+a+new+car" rel="tag">buy a new car</a>, it is a good idea to consider one of these new <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hybrid+cars" rel="tag">hybrid cars</a> which promote efficiency in gas mileage. Nowadays, there are loads of models to choose from, thanks to the recent rise in gas pricing, Several of which get fantastic gas mileage. The hybrid car is not only good for gas mileage, and improving in appearance and performance all the time. The extortionate price of gas has led many manufactures to step up production of hybrid cars to help consumers achieve greater gas mileage. Due to the increasing numbers of hybrid cars, there is no longer the long waiting lists before purchasing such a car. Many dealers will now even have several hybrid cars in their showroom for you to choose from. <br /><br /> As well as changing your bad driving habits, you can also the number of times you use your car to improve gas mileage. Why not walk or ride a bike for shorter distances? Try also to incorporate multiple destinations into the same trip which will inevitably decrease the number of miles you have to drive. By making these small changes you can really save money at the gas pump by improving your gas mileage. <br /><br /> So think about it - with these minimal changes, you really can improve your gas mileage. It won't cost you anything, nor will it cause you any hassle, but it could save you an absolute fortunate.  <bio>If you'd like to read more information about gas mileage and vehicles please take the time to visit our website at <a href="http://www.allvehicleinfo.com/" >http://www.allvehicleinfo.com/</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have been trying to find simple ways to improve my gas mileage for some time now, what with the state of the economy and the uncertainty of the oil and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gasoline+prices" rel="tag">gasoline prices</a> at the moment it has become a bit of an obsession. Like most people these days I do a lot of driving, and the cost of gasoline is one of the biggest drains on the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cash+in+my+pocket" rel="tag">cash in my pocket</a>. With this in mind I surfed the internet for hours trying to find some simple ways to improve my gas mileage and get more MPG.<br><br>One of the most common tips I found that will give gas mileage improvements is a simple change in the way we drive. Fast driving and good gas mileage do not go together so just easing your foot off of the accelerator a little and so keeping your speed down by a few <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/miles+per+hour" rel="tag">miles per hour</a> can give you significant gas mileage improvements. Also <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/smooth+acceleration" rel="tag">smooth acceleration</a> and braking can make quite a difference to your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fuel+consumption" rel="tag">fuel consumption</a>.<br><br>An engine that is in good condition will get more MPG than one that is not running properly, so having your car regularly serviced and maintained is one of the simplest <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ways+to+improve+gas+mileage" rel="tag">ways to improve gas mileage</a> on any vehicle not matter what size engine it has. Also making sure that your tires are inflated correctly can make a huge difference, a tire that is under-inflated or even slightly flat is literally a drag and could be costing you a lot of money in wasted energy.<br><br>There are other ways to improve gas mileage besides changing our driving habits. There are many gas mileage devices available that claim to give gas mileage improvements of anything between10% and 50%. One of the better of these devices that I came across was the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hydrogen+generator" rel="tag">Hydrogen Generator</a> for vehicles. This small device fits under the hood of your car next to the engine and can improve gas mileage by 35% or more depending on the model of vehicle.<br><br>They can either be purchased in kit form or you can buy plans to make your own from simple parts that are available at any hardware store. (To find out more about a Hydrogen Generator for vehicles click on the link at the end of this article as I have done a review of the top providers of guides).<br><br>One of the more extreme ways to improve gas mileage that I found on the internet is a thing called "Hypermiling." This is a way of driving that uses any trick possible to save on the tiniest amount of gas. These include things like (drafting), following closely behind the vehicle in front to cut down on your wind resistance, and (coasting) which involves accelerating to the legal speed limit (and sometimes beyond) and then free-wheeling as far as possible without touching the gas pedal again until really necessary.<br><br>So you see there are some simple ways to improve gas mileage and get more MPG from our vehicles. Whether you change your style of driving, or use one of the gas mileage devices like the Hydrogen Generator for vehicles or even a combination of both. Anything that can give us gas mileage improvements and save us some cash has got to be worth trying.<bio>Discover the top ways to improve gas mileage with a <a href="http://www.MoreGasMPG.com/saveongas.html">Hydrogen Generator For Vehicles</a> and start saving money now. http://www.MoreGasMPG.com/saveongas.html</bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The daily problem everybody facing today is the sky rocketing fuel price. But anybody driving their own vehicle cannot avoid it. So it has become a task for each and everyone of us to find out a way to increase or improve our auto <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+mileage" rel="tag">gas mileage</a> so that we can save some money on fuel. If you research you will be amazed to find so <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/many+different+ways" rel="tag">many different ways</a> to improve auto gas mileage. <br /><br /> Hydrogen boost mileage system is a gas mileage enhancement system that has been developed from a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hydrogen+gas+generator" rel="tag">hydrogen gas generator</a>. Hydrogen with other electrolyzed gases accelerates the flame spread during combustion. This process brings fuel to a temperature that allows more injected fuel to vaporize and thereby prepares it for further combustion. Reports claim that this system will improve your gas mileage up to 30 %. <br /><br /> Magnetic type fuel saver will help you to save nearly 25 % of your fuel cost and at the same time improve gas mileage as well. It will also improve the performance of the vehicle. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fuel+combustion" rel="tag">Fuel combustion</a> is done efficiently in many vehicles. This is the reason why we smell petrol or see black fumes from our exhaust pipes. The money we spent on fuel gets wasted due to this. However we have a solution now in the form of the Fuel saver that eliminates the problem of petrol wastage. It breaks down the hard HC molecules and thus offers better combustion. Better auto gas mileage can be achieved by using the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/magnetic+fuel+saver" rel="tag">Magnetic fuel saver</a>. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/energycel" rel="tag">Energycel</a> is an amazing product consisting of magnets. It forms a fairly strong magnetic field around the fuel line in your vehicle. This magnetic field will help to pass the gas to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/combustion+chamber" rel="tag">combustion chamber</a> of the engine and thereby improve mileage. It is an eco-friendly product that also clears up the air. <br /><br /> Petromoly is another way to improve auto gas mileage. It is a lubricating engine oil treatment to the vehicle with Molybdenum Disulfide. It not only improves gas mileage but also avoids premature wear and tear of the engine. It has been claimed that Petromoly will improve the gas mileage of a vehicle up to 50 %. <br /><br /> Turbonator is a fuel saver product which is made up of stainless steel. Therefore it is free from any maintenance work. You can easily install it in your vehicle with the screw driver. The turbonator can be installed in the air cleaner or in the air in-take hose depending up on the type of your vehicle. Its dynamic air in flow design helps to improve the air in-take of the vehicle. The users of this product have reasons to claim that it is bound to improve the gas mileage of your vehicle from 10 to 22 %. <br /><br /> Rough driving like speeding or rash driving like stepping on the accelerator and break pedal so hard results in wasting fuel and that causes the decrease in mileage. Smooth and sensible driving improves the auto gas mileage. Usage of overdrive gears help saves fuel and reduces the wear and tear of the engine. You can improve your auto gas mileage by using cruise control while driving on highways.   <bio>Jaison Jacob is an article writer and online business owner since 2004.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We are all looking for ways to save a bit of cash especially at this time when the economy is so unstable. One of the biggest drains on the cash in our pockets are the cars and trucks we all drive and the increasing cost of running them, especially on the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/price+of+gasoline" rel="tag">price of gasoline</a>, therefore finding <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ways+to+increase+gas+mileage" rel="tag">ways to increase gas mileage</a> is a good place to start to try and make some savings.<br><br>There are several ways to increase gas mileage, small things like driving just a bit slower and avoiding <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/jack+rabbit" rel="tag">jack rabbit</a> driving (accelerating quickly and breaking hard). Making sure that your tire pressures are correct, your brakes are not sticking and that your engine is properly serviced and in tip top condition. All these things will get you some gas mileage improvements allowing you to get more MPG from your particular vehicle.<br><br>Sensible driving and looking after your vehicle although good ways to increase gas mileage are not the only ways to get more MPG. Thanks to new technology there is now a way to improve the performance of your engine and get gas mileage improvements of 50% or more. This new technology uses plain tap water as a supplement to the ordinary gasoline we all put into our cars and trucks.<br><br>Using water as a supplement to gasoline to get gas mileage improvements may sound a bit far fetched or even fantastical but it is easily achieved with the use of a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hydrogen+generator" rel="tag">hydrogen generator</a> for vehicles. This small gas mileage device fits neatly under the hood of your car next to your engine, and uses the principle of Hydrolysis to convert <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/water+droplets" rel="tag">water droplets</a> into Hydrogen Oxygen (also known as HHO or Brown's gas). This gas when mixed with the gasoline-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/air+mixture" rel="tag">air mixture</a> of an ordinary engine burns a lot more efficiently and with much more power, and this is what gives you the great gas mileage improvements.<br><br>With this new technology and the use of a hydrogen generator for vehicles you will not only be getting gas mileage improvements, you will also be doing your bit for the environment as this mixture of fuels burns more cleanly with less harmful exhaust emissions. Also as it burns cleaner your engine receives less wear and tear, and the build up of harmful carbon in your engine is reduced. In fact over a period of time by using a hydrogen generator for vehicles the existing carbon deposits in your engine will be removed.<br><br>Just imagine how much of your hard earned cash you could be saving if you could achieve gas mileage improvements of 50% or more. You could easily save hundreds of dollars a year just by fitting this simple device to your vehicle. No wonder that a hydrogen generator for vehicles is fast becoming one of the best ways to increase gas mileage and get more MPG. Not only will you be saving money on gas but because this fuel burns a lot cleaner your engine stays in better condition longer making you savings on repairs.<bio>Discover the top <a href="http://www.MoreGasMPG.com/saveongas.html">Ways To Increase Gas Mileage</a> and get more mpg for your vehicles http://www.MoreGasMPG.com/saveongas.html</bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[With the price of gas constantly hitting new highs and with very little chance of it coming down, a new type of driver is evolving, (the "Hypermiler"). This new style driver or "Hypermiler" will try any trick or tip to get the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/best+gas+mileage" rel="tag">best gas mileage</a> improvements from their car or SUV, and then use these gas mileage secrets to save on their weekly gas bill. Some of these tips are simple ones like making sure that tires are inflated correctly, while others are more complex and involve the use of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gadgets+and+gizmos" rel="tag">gadgets and gizmos</a>.<br><br>So where did the name "Hypermiler" come from? Well it seems to have originated from the Hybrid-Vehicle <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/driving+clubs" rel="tag">driving clubs</a>, where members compete with each other to find the best MPG for their particular vehicle and beat the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/epa+gas+mileage" rel="tag">EPA gas mileage</a> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fuel+efficiency" rel="tag">fuel efficiency</a> estimates. With the use of real-time mileage displays they can identify the best techniques to get the gas mileage improvements that they and everyone else are after. Some have even reported to have made as much as a 40% saving when compared to the EPA gas mileage estimates<br><br>The "Hypermiler" trend started out as a bit of competitive fun, where people would take part in races and "Hypermileage" marathons. In this way the different techniques, tricks, and gas mileage secrets were put to the test and the winner was the person who achieved the best gas mileage improvements. However with the constant rise in the price of gas the "Hypermiler" has come to the attention of the media, and these gas mileage secrets have become widely sought after by the everyday motorist.<br><br>These days the "Hypermiler" is more likely to be the average working man or woman who is just trying to get the best <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fuel+economy" rel="tag">fuel economy</a> possible for their car. By using the gas mileage secrets that were discovered by the Hybrid-Vehicle driving clubs they are able to make their own savings at the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+pumps" rel="tag">gas pumps</a>. Even the drivers of the larger cars and SUVs who can better afford the rising prices are trying to find ways to increase their fuel economy simply as a matter of principle as well as a way to save a few cents.<br><br>Although the term "Hypermiling" sounds like a very American idea the whole concept of fuel efficiency and saving gas has worldwide appeal. In Europe especially, where the gas prices are double what we pay (and have been for many years) the term "Eco-driving" has been around for some time. The Eco-driver uses the same tips and tricks as the "Hypermiler" to try to increase their fuel efficiency.<br><br>So it seems that no matter where we live in the world, the days of cheap gas and the big gas guzzling cars that we used to drive are soon to be a thing of the past. With the dwindling gas supplies causing ever increasing price rises, together with the pollution caused by the use of poor fuel efficient cars, we will soon find we will all have to discover ways to make gas mileage improvements to our own vehicles and perhaps become a "Hypermiler ourselves.<bio>Discover for yourself great ways to increase gas mileage and cut your gasoline consumption in half with simple Step-By-Step guides to show you how.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[When I was a kid I never kept concentration, nor learned, nor was given any teaching about finances, technical or mechanical or monetary or other duties, thus the thought of keeping a tab on one's car's <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+mileage" rel="tag">gas mileage</a> never crossed my mind. It was only recently that I took the time to learn and paid attention to, how to record my car's gas mileage and also learned- HOW it would be <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beneficial" rel="tag">beneficial</a>. <br /><br /> My new tutor was my friend, a retired grocery store clerk. I would accompany him on his Saturday <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/errands" rel="tag">errands</a>. One of which would be filling his van's <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+tank" rel="tag">gas tank</a>. You can find other automotive related material at <a href="http://www.hubcapreport.com" >http://www.hubcapreport.com</a>. His activity once a week would be to go to the gas station, fill up his tank, and then write down the car's mileage and amount of gas he had just put in, all this on a small hand-size spiral notebook which kept in the van's glove box. <br /><br /> My friend was a great guy, but at the same time, a mastermind by anyone's standards. He was always up to some calculations or the other. Looking for his pen in his nerdy pocket protectors to scribble something down- an innovation or scientific idea or history-based. So I thought that he used to note down the car's gas mileage just to keep appease his character or to ease the mental demons that he possessed <br /><br /> Before I had purchased a used car for myself I had got into gear to carry out research of various aspects of a car like that emissions standards ratings, a car's reputation for deterioration and then finally to a car's emission. That is when it struck me that my friend did not record his car's gas mileage to feed his mental hunger but to actually to pay attention to his car's gas mileage. <br /><br /> I had initial dreams of buying a truck, or a hot rod or even a sports car, but finally bought a car that I LOVE, a used Saab. I then immediately drove it to the gas station as I remembered that the person who I had bought the car from told me that it needed gas. <br /><br /> After I finished filling the gas in the tank, I noted down the date, the mileage and the amount of gas put in. I carry out the same activity every time I fill gas and thus am able to keep a tab on my car's gas mileage. The information of car mileages for Saabs and any array of other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cars" rel="tag">cars</a> is available on sites like <a href="http://epa.gov" >http://epa.gov</a>, which people could check before then go in for a new or used car. <br /><br /> The gas prices at the time when I am writing this article, i.e. April 2006 are 25 cents higher that the prices at the same time last year. Thus the prices could range from $2.60 to about $2.62 a gallon. Now I realize the reasoning of recording one's gas milage.   <bio>In Ronald's spare time he works with the following internet portals: <a href="http://www.hobbiesforfun.com" >http://www.hobbiesforfun.com</a> <a href="http://www.cmminformation.com" >http://www.cmminformation.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[When you are looking for your next car whether you are buying a new or used vehicle the one thing that you should be considering is, buying one of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/best+gas+mileage+cars" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/best+gas+mileage" rel="tag">best gas mileage</a> cars</a> available. This doesn't mean that we all have to drive around in Micro cars either as there are some good small to mid-size cars with good gas mileage.<br><br>The difference between choosing a fuel efficient car over one that is a gas guzzler can be substantial over the life of the vehicle. Fuel efficiency varies greatly from one car to the next, and with the continuing rise of gas prices buying a more economical car makes even more sense than ever before, after all it's your cash that you are putting into the gas tank.<br><br>Did you know that around 15% of people looking to buy a new car will reject a model due to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/poor+gas+mileage" rel="tag">poor gas mileage</a> alone? And nearly 40% of people who eliminate a full size SUV due to poor fuel efficiency will ultimately buy a mid-size SUV instead, while nearly 20% will buy another model altogether.<br><br>With more and more people buying and driving cars than ever before the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has put together a useful guide to help prospective buyers to choose the best gas mileage cars available on the market, and these guides should be shown on the cars for sale on the garage forecourt. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/epa+gas+mileage+guide" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/epa+gas+mileage" rel="tag">EPA gas mileage</a> guide</a> will tell you the expected fuel consumption for both city as well as highway driving.<br><br>Listed below are 5 of the most popular of the best gas mileage cars available at the moment.<br><br>Number 5 of the top small to mid-size best gas mileage cars is the Toyota Scion XA.<br>This comes with a 1.5 liter, 4 cylinder engine, with a 4 speed automatic transmission. Driving in the city you can expect to get around 32 MPG and this goes up to nearly 40MPG for the highway.<br><br>Number 4 Is the Toyota Echo with its 1.5 liter 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed manual transmission the MPG for the city is 35 while on the highway this goes up to 43MPG.<br><br>Number 3 The Honda Civic even with its slightly larger 1.7 liter engine and 5 speed manual transmission will still give you 36MPG in the city and 44MPG when out on the highway. The Honda Civic is also available in a Hybrid version with even greater fuel economy.<br><br>Number 2 The Toyota Prius comes with a 1.5 liter 4 cylinder engine and a variable automatic transmission. This car will give you a whopping 60MPG around the city but oddly is not quite so good on the highway giving 51MPG.<br><br>The Number 1 best gas mileage car is as you would imagine a smaller car. With its 1 liter 3 cylinder engine and a 5 speed manual transmission the Honda Insight does however give you great fuel economy. You can expect to get60MPG in the city and a fantastic 66MPG for highway driving.<br><br>So if you are thinking of buying a new or newer car, and you are on the lookout for the best gas mileage cars around then you might want to consider one of the five above.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[With gas prices across the nation at or near all time highs driving is becoming increasingly expensive. Everyone is looking for a way to save a little money on gas. Because of this, we have comprised a list of five very practical steps you can take to significantly increase your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+mileage" rel="tag">gas mileage</a>. <br /><br /> 5. Check your tire pressure. Under <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/inflated+tires" rel="tag">inflated tires</a> will not only cause you to go through tires more quickly, but it can also cost you gas mileage. For every 1 PSI under-inflated your tires are you loose 0.4% gas mileage. If your tires are 5 pounds under-inflated, your loosing 2% of your gas mileage. <br /><br /> 4. Maintain a steady speed. Accelerating uses more gas than maintaining your current speed, and every time you brake, you're wasting the momentum you have burned gas to build up. By anticipating <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/traffic" rel="tag">traffic</a> and avoiding constant acceleration and deceleration, especially in stop and go traffic you can significantly reduce gas consumption and increase the life of your car. <br /><br /> 3. Get a tune up. Regular maintenance will help your care run better, last longer, and can improve your gas mileage up to 25%. <br /><br /> 2. Use the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/octane+level" rel="tag">octane level</a> your vehicle manufacture recommends. If your car does not require higher <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/octane+gas" rel="tag">octane gas</a>, don't buy it. Many people believe that buying the premium gas will make their car run better but in reality is can make your engine run too hot and do more harm than good. By decreasing from premium to regular unleaded you can save 20 cents or more per gallon. <br /><br /> 1. Use a credit card to save on gas. There are many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/credit+cards" rel="tag">credit cards</a> available that will pay you between 5-8% cash back on gas purchases. There are even cards that will give you rewards points for every mile you drive in your car. By using these benefits to your advantage you can save $0.15 - $0.25 cents per gallon on gas.   <bio>This article has been provided courtesy of Creditor Web, <a href="http://www.creditorweb.com" >http://www.creditorweb.com</a> . </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Your tires =96 where the rubber meets the road.<br /><br /><br /><br /> And when it comes to saving money on gas, there's a lot of opportunity to get better milesge from your tires. Here are some tips for getting <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/better+mileage" rel="tag">better mileage</a> with your tires. <br /><br /> 1 =96 Proper Inflation <br /><br /> It's been estimated that up to 50% of people are driving around on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/underinflated+tires" rel="tag">underinflated tires</a>. While tires that don't have proper air pressure in them are unsafe, you will also lose 2% of your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+mileage" rel="tag">gas mileage</a> for every 5 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure that you are below the manufacturers recommended pressure. The reason is that if your tire isn't inflated properly, there's going to be more tire touching the road, causing more friction, which reduces gas mileage.<br /><br /><br /><br /> How can you tell if your tires are underinflated? Well, if they look flat they probably are, but it's not always possible to tell if your tires are properly inflated just by looking at them. In fact, it's actually quite difficult. What you need is a tool called a tire pressure gauge that you can get from any auto parts store and even your local <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/walmart" rel="tag">Walmart</a> or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sears" rel="tag">Sears</a> =96 they're not expensive. Also, some gas station hoses will have one of these tools built onto them so you can check your pressure when you fill up. <br /><br /> When you're filling up one tire, make sure you check the rest to make sure that all your tires are properly and evenly inflated.<br /><br /><br /><br /> 2 =96 Type of Tire <br /><br /> Some tires have specialized purposes =96 like <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/snow+tires" rel="tag">snow tires</a>. Snow tires are really good at driving through snow, but they do so at the expense of gas mileage. If you put snow tires on for the winter, make sure you get them off in spring.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Also, using steel belted tires can help you improve your gas mileage by up to 10%.<br /><br /><br /><br /> And when you're buying tires, try to fine a tire that has a low rolling resistance. <br /><br /> Wide tires and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/studded+tires" rel="tag">studded tires</a> will both significantly lower your gas mileage. <br /><br /> 3 =96 Alignment and Balance <br /><br /> Make sure that your wheels are properly balanced and aligned.  While this isn't really something you can do at home without specialized equipment, your local auto repair shop can easily do this for you. Keeping everything aligned and balanced means that your tires will roll as freely as possible, helping you consume less gas. <br /><br /> While there are a lot of things you can do to save money on gas, make sure you don't neglect looking at improving your tires since they're the only part of your vehicle that actually touches the road.   <bio>Gary Ruplinger is the owner of <a href="http://FuelSavingZone.com" >http://FuelSavingZone.com</a> and the author of 61 ways to save money on gas which is available at <a href="http://www.fuelsavingzone.com/" >http://www.fuelsavingzone.com/</a> absolutely free.   </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Vehicles that will help you save money on gas <br /><br /> Prices at the pump are rising steadily; more and more of the vehicles being released get very low gas mileage. This makes it really hard to get around town or to work, on a budget. Well, there still are tons of options for vehicles that can save you tons of money at the pump. <br /><br /> If you're not ready to take the plunge and buy a hybrid or electric vehicle, there are many gas-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/engine+cars" rel="tag">engine cars</a> that get very good gas mileage. For small cars, the mini cooper (28 city/36 highway) gets you the most miles for your gallon. If you're looking at midsize or large cars, you should check out Hyundai. The Elantra gets 27 city/34 highway, and the Sonata get 24 city/34 highway. If you're looking into station wagons, the Pontiac Vibe and the Toyota Matrix both get 30 city/36 highway. <br /><br /> If you're looking for a car with even better gas mileage, you should check out <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hybrid+cars" rel="tag">hybrid cars</a>. The concept of a hybrid is that its engine is actually a combination of two engines: a traditional gas engine, and an electric engine. Unlike true electric cars, the electric engine is charged by the gas engine, so there's no need to plug it in. And while all the power is ultimately derived from the gas engine, these cars, van's, and SUVs still get way batter gas mileage and saving you tons of money at the pump. If you're looking simply for the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/best+gas+mileage" rel="tag">best gas mileage</a> overall, you should check out the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/honda+insight" rel="tag">Honda insight</a>; it gets 60 <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mpg+city" rel="tag">mpg city</a>, 66 <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mpg+highway" rel="tag">mpg highway</a>. Plus it's from Honda so you can be confident you're getting a solid long lasting vehicle. If you're looking for an SUV, the vehicle with the best gas mileage is the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ford+escape+hybrid" rel="tag">Ford Escape hybrid</a>. It gets 31 mpg city, 36 mpg highway. Imagine, getting the gas mileage of a car (or better) from an SUV. <br /><br /> Another option for saving fuel that will be available on the market soon is the plug-in hybrid. You're probably thinking "why would I want to plug in my hybrid when I can just get a regular hybrid?' One dollar to get as far as a gallon of gas, that's why. A plug in hybrid is the same as a regular hybrid except you have the option of charging the electric engine. This means that if you only take short trips, your gas engine will rarely even have to turn on, and electricity gets you as far as a gallon of gas for about $1. And, unlike normal electric cars, you never have to worry about your battery dying so you can go as far as you want on your gas engine. <br /><br /> If you want to just skip the gas altogether, there have been some great advances in electric vehicles. You'll forget everything you know about electric vehicles when you see the Tesla Motors Roadster. It's fully electric, so you can always get a gas mileage equivalent of about $1 per gallon. Unlike traditional electric cars, this one runs on a lithium ion battery, so it can go farther between charges (about 250 miles), it can go a lot faster (top speed of 130 mph), and to be honest, it just looks cooler. If an electric car ever catches on, it will most definitely be this one. <br /><br /> With any type of vehicle, you should keep your car in good shape and making sure it gets regular tune ups, this will help keep up gas efficiency. Also remember that the weight of the vehicle matters. Carrying around stuff you don't need and always having a full tank will raise your gas mileage.   <bio>Gray Rollins is a featured writer for <a href="http://www.fuelsavingzone.com" >http://www.fuelsavingzone.com</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Gas prices may have dropped by a couple of cents over the last few days but with the current trends you can bet that it won't be long before they go up yet again. The days of cheap oil and gasoline are sadly a thing of the past. So if you have any sense you should still be looking for ways to make gas mileage improvements on your vehicles by any means that you can. Along with the latest and most promising <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ways+to+improve+gas+mileage" rel="tag">ways to improve gas mileage</a> and get more mpg are the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hydrogen+fuel+cell+cars" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hydrogen+fuel+cell" rel="tag">hydrogen fuel cell</a> cars</a>.<br><br>Hydrogen <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fuel+cell+cars" rel="tag">fuel cell cars</a> are just standard cars that have been converted to use water as a supplement to ordinary gasoline. This is achieved with the use of a DIY hydrogen fuel cell or (<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/homemade+hydrogen+generator" rel="tag">homemade hydrogen generator</a>), a small device that provides HHO gas. This HHO gas is then mixed with the ordinary gasoline + air mixture in your cars engine. As this mixture of gases burns with a lot more efficiency and power it gives you fantastic gas mileage improvements. (Notice that I said "supplement" as there are some claims out there that suggest you can run your cars on water alone, which is ridiculous)<br><br>One of the best things about hydrogen fuel cell cars (apart from the great gas mileage improvements you get) is that you can convert your existing vehicle easily and cheaply. You do not need to take it to a garage or have a mechanic working on it for days on end. With just a few inexpensive parts that you can buy at any hardware store, and a simple to follow guide to show you <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/how+to+build+a+hydrogen+fuel+cell" rel="tag">how to build a hydrogen fuel cell</a> you can convert your cars in a matter of hours.<br><br>Once you have converted your cars into hydrogen fuel cell cars you can expect to get gas mileage improvements of between 35% and 50%. You will also notice that you have a smoother ride and a lot more power, this is due to the cleaner burn that you get, and you will also expect to get less wear on your engine and a lot less <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/harmful+exhaust+emissions" rel="tag">harmful exhaust emissions</a> being pumped into the atmosphere.<br><br>Another plus with the DIY hydrogen fuel cell is that it is completely reversible, so if you ever wanted to take it out again you can do so without causing any damage to your engine. But with the great gas mileage improvements that you will get the only reason I can see you wanting to remove it for are if you sell your car and want to keep your homemade hydrogen generator to use in your next vehicle.<br><br>To learn more about hydrogen fuel cell cars or to find a first class guide to show you how to build a hydrogen fuel cell you should be able to find more than enough information on the internet. With everyone trying to find ways to make gas mileage improvements to their vehicles the DIY hydrogen fuel cell has really caught on and there are dozens of good guides to show you exactly how to go about it.<bio>Discover the top 3 guides to show you <a href="http://www.MoreGasMPG.com/saveongas.html">How To Build A Hydrogen Fuel Cell</a> to run cars on water and get more mpg.CLICK HERE NOW http://www.MoreGasMPG.com/saveongas.html</bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ There are tips and hidden secrets when it comes to improving the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+mileage" rel="tag">gas mileage</a> of your vehicle. With these changing times and the skyrocketing fuel prices, it seems more important than ever to cut down on gas mileage. The most important piece of advice in these times is to cut down on driving. Unfortunately, the most important piece of advice =96 and the most obvious =96 doesn't seem to impress upon most people because people seem attached to driving, even if it's just a quick trip to the corner store three blocks away. <br /><br /> If driving less is something that you cannot fathom, you can practice a few other methods to cut down on gas mileage and save some money. <br /><br /> Keep Your Car Working Properly <br /><br /> One of the best ways to ensure that you are getting more bang for your buck in terms of gas mileage is to check your car frequently and make sure that it is working as it should be. Cars that are regularly checked and have regular oil changes usually manage more gas mileage because they are in sharper working order. <br /><br /> Serious <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/maintenance+problems" rel="tag">maintenance problems</a> that go unchecked, such as a faulty <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/oxygen+sensor" rel="tag">oxygen sensor</a>, can cost you lots of money in terms of wasted gas mileage and can impact your vehicle performance overall. Air filters and tire pressure is important too, as having proper air filters can save you up to 10% on your gas mileage and can impact the overall performance of your vehicle. Properly balanced tires with appropriate tire pressure can offer fuel <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/economy+benefits" rel="tag">economy benefits</a> up to 3%. <br /><br /> Drive Properly <br /><br /> Driving properly is also an important component when it comes to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/saving+money+on+gas" rel="tag">saving money on gas</a>. Observe the speed limit, as gas mileage actually decreases rapidly at higher speeds (above 60 miles per hour). Not only is observing the speed limit a safer way to drive, it can also save you up to 25% on your overall gas mileage. <br /><br /> Remove any excess weight in your vehicle to avoid putting extra strain on your engine and your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fuel+consumption" rel="tag">fuel consumption</a>. Having extra weight in your vehicle reduces your miles per gallon and, in turn, reducing your overall <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fuel+economy" rel="tag">fuel economy</a>. This weight aspect affects smaller vehicles more than it does larger vehicles. <br /><br /> Avoid idling for long periods of times, like in border line-ups and other places, as this is hard on the engine. Use cruise control and overdrive gears to reduce overall engine wear, too. This will help in saving gas mileage and will also cut down on the standard wear and tear on your vehicle. <br /><br /> Drive Less! <br /><br /> Most people don't like to hear about this particular way to save gas mileage, as society is largely addicted to their vehicles even for the smallest of trips. Carpooling, taking public transit, and combining trips into one larger trip are all effective and logical ways to reduce the overall gas mileage and save money in the long run. Instead of taking several trips during one day, try to combine all of your trips into one longer trip to save additional starts and stops of your engine. Your vehicle and your pocketbook will thank you!   <bio>Find the best deal on the auto insurance coverage you need.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Still Gassing Up for Less Mileage? <br /><br /> Still using your Cadillac for a 40 minute drive to office? Perhaps you are one of those who scrimp on better things in life just to stretch your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+money" rel="tag">gas money</a>. You always have a long way off to payday, and still got to work next Monday. Are you not wondering why a lot of your co-workers are using scooters? Perhaps you need a little education on scooter <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+mileage" rel="tag">gas mileage</a>. <br /><br /> Scooters are the little bikes that zip past in blazing colors. They have small bodies but have amazing speed. What makes it remarkable is the ability of the little vehicle to run on a speed of 40 miles an hour on little gas. If you experiment riding the scooter to office, it will become apparent that you have been wasting too much money on the gas station. <br /><br /> Save More for Less <br /><br /> Putting around in a scooter will not have the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rainforest+action+network" rel="tag">Rainforest Action Network</a> and the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/global+exchange" rel="tag">Global Exchange</a> boycotting your birthday because you have splurged on gas on a little <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mean+machine" rel="tag">mean machine</a>. With your little 49.7cc scooter, you can prove you have earned your scooter gas mileage certificate. <br /><br /> If you spend $50 a day for gas, for the daily commute from to home to office and back, and for some errands three blocks away, that is a sign of gas overspending. You would average $250 a week. With a scooter, you will spend less the amount and still have left-over gas for the weekend, barring of course some extracurricular activities. <br /><br /> Scooter gas mileage will average 20 miles per hour or 20-40 miles per tank. This will depend on the scooter model that can vary in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tank+capacity" rel="tag">tank capacity</a> from 1 to 1.5 liters. For $5 a day you can commute to office on your scooter instead of $50 in your car. The big difference between the $50 and $5 gas budget is glaring. <br /><br /> Scooter gas mileage, if gas price is pegged at $3 per gallon, will give a mpg of 20 for an annual expense of $1500. A scooter is reported to run on 100 <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/miles+per+gallon" rel="tag">miles per gallon</a>! The potentials in gas saving is the advantage of the compact bikes. It is not unusual that more and more Americans are turning towards scooters. <br /><br /> Getting Ready to Get a Scooter <br /><br /> Scooters retail for $1000 to more than $6,500, depending on the brand and model. The prohibitive price has driven buyers to Chinese scooters that give the same mpg and convenience at almost half the price. Scooters provide comfortable sitting while driving, and you can sit upright without hurting your back. Older people in their late forties can ride these scooters in comfort and enjoy more gas mileage on limited gas money. <br /><br /> If you are going to invest in this ride, verify the scooter gas mileage. Aside from this, check out the availability of spare parts and service centers of the scooter brand. Also inquire about the warranty, state regulations and requirements. This will help you decide on the approved scooter models.   <bio>Nothing beats scooter gas mileage (<a href="http://www.askthescooterexperts.com/2007/07/22/where-i-can-find-a-bike-wit" >http://www.askthescooterexperts.com/2007/07/22/where-i-can-find-a-bike-wit</a>= h-an-amazing-scooter-mileage).

Perhaps you even made the assumption that you never needed to calculate mileage again so you forgot about it.<br><br>When you bought your car you found out that your kind of make and model of vehicle had an EPA rating of XYZ miles per gallon (mpg). Off you drove, secure in the knowledge that since you were getting XYZ miles per gallon and you had a 14 <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gallon+tank" rel="tag">gallon tank</a> (the average size now), you would need to fill up every ABC miles and it should cost you DEF.<br><br>Oh for the days of DEF!

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ For decades new car buyers have complained that their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fuel+economy" rel="tag">fuel economy</a> has not measured up to the EPA estimates on the window sticker. Since the EPA began providing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mileage+estimates" rel="tag">mileage estimates</a> in the 1970's, it has been known that the testing methods were not reflective of real world driving conditions and are more effective in comparing mileage between different <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/models" rel="tag">models</a> than determining actual fuel economy. <br /><br /> Although changes have been made to this fuel economy estimating system several times since the 70's, new tests and formula for determining mileage and, as well as new <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/window+stickers" rel="tag">window stickers</a>, will be phased in with the 2008 model year, and new testing procedures will be mandatory by 2011. <br /><br /> It is speculated that the estimated mileage appearing on window stickers will be reduced in most models, but that these figures will more closely <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/match" rel="tag">match</a> the real world mileage of the vehicle. For drivers practicing good driving habits and maintenance, they may be able to get fuel economy that is higher than estimated. <br /><br /> Current <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fuel+mileage" rel="tag">fuel mileage</a> tests are done with vehicles on a treadmill-like device designed to simulate real driving. However, these tests are done in moderate temperatures without any accessories running, such as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/air+conditioning" rel="tag">air conditioning</a>. The highway test is far outdated, with the top speed only being 60 mph, and an average speed of 48 mph. The city driving test simulates 7.5 miles of driving at an average of 20 mph with 18 stops. <br /><br /> The new fuel economy testing procedures will take into account and replicate three common scenarios that can significantly lower fuel economy, such as hard acceleration, cold temperature operation, and the use of air conditioning. Although some of these tests are done currently, they are used to determine emissions figures, but the data is factored into mileage estimates. For the 2008 model year, the EPA is simply using a different formula in an attempt to make mileage estimates more accurate. <br /><br /> It is expected that the new estimation formula and new testing procedures will lower fuel economy ratings by 10-30% across the board. The vehicles whose mileage ratings will see the biggest reduction are likely to be ones that are adversely affected by heavy demand on the engine from hard acceleration, air conditioning, and cold temperatures, such as high mileage cars. <br /><br /> Many environmentalists are disappointed that hybrids are expected to be among the vehicles with the biggest drop in estimated mileage. Some say this may have a negative impact on the hybrid market, but every vehicle will have the same actual fuel economy. The only difference is a more realistic mileage estimate. <br /><br /> While some fear this will cause consumers to neglect hybrid cars, many analysts and industry insiders see the new formula and tests in a positive light. Dave Alexander, a senior analyst at ABI Research, said, "There is potential in the long run for better customer satisfaction." This is because a car whose window sticker says 30 mpg will be able to produce that mileage at 70 mph with the air conditioning on, in real driving conditions, instead of at a top speed of 60 mph with no accessories in a climate controlled setting. <br /><br /> Instead of turning consumers away from hybrids, more accurate mileage estimates may allow consumers to purchase vehicles that are actually more fuel efficient instead of continuing to be dissatisfied with lower than expected mileage.   <bio>Find the best deal on the auto insurance coverage you need.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[With the price of gas going through the roof, drivers are on the lookout for any way to make gas mileage improvements to their vehicles, and there seems to be an ever increasing number of so called gas mileage secrets popping up. Everything from cars that run on water with the help of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hydrogen+car" rel="tag">hydrogen car</a> kits, to the many tips and tricks used by the hypermiler.<br><br>Surprisingly enough there is a way to help you make gas mileage improvements even before you get to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gas+pumps" rel="tag">gas pumps</a>, and that is at the tire store. This is because many drivers have not heard about "tire efficiency" and this is due to very little information being available on the standardized ratings of tires. Many drivers could actually be adding to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/poor+fuel+economy" rel="tag">poor fuel economy</a> by choosing the wrong type of tire.<br><br>There are moves in progress to get tire manufacturers to begin labelling tires for fuel efficiency. Regulations call for a programme that would create a national labelling system, this system would be similar to the energy star ratings of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/household+appliances" rel="tag">household appliances</a>. In this way you will be able to choose the tire that would give you the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/best+gas+mileage" rel="tag">best gas mileage</a> improvements for your particular make and model of vehicle.<br><br>The modern tires available today are in fact far more efficient than they were 30 years ago. Rolling resistance (the power that is lost due to flexing) has been reduced by as much as 50%. And with the advances of tread patterns and the use of lighter <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rubber+compounds" rel="tag">rubber compounds</a> they are now even more economical.<br><br>Even so efficiency can vary by up to half from tire to tire, which can reduce a vehicles fuel economy by up to 10%. Sadly this tire labelling system is yet to be put into action, so many of us are still driving on tires that instead of giving us gas mileage improvements, are actually costing us more in poor fuel economy.<br><br>However there are still ways to make sure that you are getting the best from your tires.<br><br>1) Always keep your tires inflated to the correct pressures as a poorly inflated tire can reduce fuel economy by 3.5%<br><br>2) When replacing your tires try to buy the same brand and model that came as original equipment on your car. (Car manufacturers are careful to fit the most efficient tires to their vehicles).<br><br>3) Don't replace your tires until they need to be replaced as new tires are less fuel efficient than worn ones. (but don't drive on bald tires as this is not only illegal it is dangerous) So check tire treads regularly.<br><br>4) If your tires show signs of uneven wear, such as a feathered appearance where one side is worn more than the other then you may have alignment or balance problems, either of which will reduce fuel economy.<br><br>So you see there are a few little gas mileage secrets that you can use to increase your fuel economy without going to the extremes of the hypermiler, just by using the right tires and keeping them in good running order you can achieve surprisingly good gas mileage improvements.<bio>Discover for yourself how to make real gas mileage improvements and cut your gasoline consumption in half with simple Step-By-Step guides to show you how.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[When you are on the look out for a new (or even a new one) one of the most important things most people look for now are high MPG vehicles. With gas prices at an all time high and no sign of a drop anytime soon (if ever) <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cars+with+best+gas+mileage" rel="tag">cars with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/best+gas+mileage" rel="tag">best gas mileage</a></a> are at the top of the list of priorities.<br><br>I did some extensive research on the internet to find the top 7 cars with best gas mileage. The first thing that I noticed was that nearly every survey I found gave differing MPG readings, some of these differences where only 1 or 2 MPG but others where as much as 10 MPG. In the list of high MPG vehicles below I have used the most consistent of the research readings.<br><br>(Top 7 Cars with Best Gas Mileage)<br><br>7) <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/honda+fit" rel="tag">Honda Fit</a>. This is one of many mini sized cars now available on the American market. Although small it is well thought out and gives you some reasonable interior space. Driving around the city you should expect to get 30 MPG and this rises to 36 on the highway.<br><br>6) Mini Cooper. This is a fun car to drive and is really catching on on the American market. It has achieved cult status in many European countries where it has long been a favourite. It will give you 32 around town and 36 on the open road.<br><br>5) <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/toyota+camry+hybrid" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/toyota+camry" rel="tag">Toyota Camry</a> Hybrid</a>. With its 2.4 liter engine you can still expect to get a good 36 MPG for city driving and a little better on longer trips. This is fast becoming a best seller in America.<br><br>4) Honda Civic. Very popular in the smaller car range. Surprisingly roomy interior, great handling and excellent safety ratings. This car will give you 36 MPG around the city and a great 44 MPG on the highway.<br><br>3) <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/honda+civic+hybrid" rel="tag">Honda Civic Hybrid</a>. If you like the Civic then you will love the Hybrid. Same excellent build and safety qualities but with a fantastic 48 MPG rising to over 50 MPG on those highway drives, making this one of the most popular high MPG vehicles.<br><br>2) <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/toyota+prius" rel="tag">Toyota Prius</a>. Very affordably priced mid-sized car. With its 1.5 liter engine and practical styling this is a nice roomy car. The Prius will give you a whopping 60 MPG around town but is actually less economic on the highway, giving about 51 MPG.<br><br>1) Honda Insight. One of the smaller high MPG vehicles but still one of the top cars with best gas mileage. The Insight delivers a great 60 MPG around the city and a fantastic 66 or over on the longer drives, keeping it on the top of the list of cars with best gas mileage.<br><br>These then are the top 7 cars with beat gas mileage according to the most popular and accurate surveys that I found. There are many more high MPG vehicles being produced now, but if you are not in the market for a new car you may want to think about how to get more MPG for your own car.
