Running on Fumes – Being Green saves Green
Hello All:
Unless you have been living on the moon in a glass bubble you would be aware of the fact that prices and especially gas prices are on the rise. Not just a little price hike here and there but through the stratosphere price increases for a gallon of gas.
I guess now is a good time to go green which means conservation of gasoline. Whether or not you like being a tree hugger.
Think of it this way going green can mean two things today, one is being a save the planet type person or two save yourself a bunch of green (money) by being green (tree hugger).
What have I done to be green that is save money?
Well I started driving differently:
- I set my cruise control closer to the speed limit. When you drive the speed limit it has two effects um well three:
1) Saves gasoline and so saves money on fuel.
2) Saves the environment. If you drive slower you spew out less junk and toxins into the air. Makes that chipmunk on the side of the road smile.
3) Saves on speeding tickets. Saving you a lot of green and demerit points to boot.So driving the speed limit helps in many ways.
- I don’t break really hard unless there is a big truck in the way (you know safety issues). This will increase fuel mileage or for those using metric kilometers and an added plus you will save some green replacing your brakes less often since the will last longer.
- I try not to have jack rabbit starts. What does that mean? Well if you at a light and some guy in a hot car wants to drag you off the light then you give the thumbs down because you want to be green (a tree hugger and save money). Also saves on the tires especially if they are a specialty tire and so it is green by being a tree hugger and a green money saver.
- Reduce the weight you have to carry in your vehicle. Every 100 pounds less gives you better fuel mileage. Just think of it this way don’t carry those four cases of 2/4 in the trunk reduce it to one in this way you may have less friends but you will be able to go farther on a tank of gas.
- Here is an odd tip, try to buy gas from the same gas station chain. Since at times all gas isn’t created equally your computer may have a conniption trying to figure out what you did and so may give you poor mileage for a tank or two. Aren’t computers great.
There are a number of other things you can do to help being green saving money and trees at the same time but I guess I would have to be here giving you the low down for hours.
Didn’t your mother always say, you have your Green$ today?
Lets just say this: Drive sensible and the speed limit and you will be GREEN.
Sincerely,
Bryan
