Many ideas are flying around on methods to save fossil fuel through conservation. Some people have been bold and dumb enough to actually come out in support of penalties like Detroit Democrat Dingle’s fifty cents excise tax on every gallon of gasoline. That surprises me but I guess that it makes more sense to some than to others. If you talk to a construction worker driving a work truck loaded with equipment who has to get 14 MPG driving that monster or else let his company crash then he would certainly know pain from such a surcharge or excise tax. What everybody does agree on is that we need to do something. The cost of oil yesterday was at an astronomical $108 a barrel after earlier topping $109. At the pump, the national average for a gallon of regular gas hit a record $3.227. The average in California was $3.581 a gallon. Not a single new refinery has been built in America since the 1970s, unless this changes there isn’t much we can do about the supply side of the equation. What we can exercise control over, even on an individual level is demand, and this can be accomplished through various means of conservation. These are a few ideas that most anyone can agree with Mileage standards: The biggest broad stroke solution that we can effect as a country to wean ourselves from our oil troubles would be to significantly boost the minimum required mileage for new vehicles. The last increase was four years ago and it set the bar that new cars were required to get an average of 27.5 mpg and light trucks including SUVs 20.7 mpg. Late last year, Congress enacted the first substantial overhaul of so-called corporate average fuel economy, or CAFE, standards since the 1970s. Automakers will now be required to raise average mileage for both cars and light trucks to 35 mpg by 2020. That's good, but not nearly good enough. I say it should be set at fifty miles per gallon and no lower by 2020. Naturally the automotive manufacturer corporations will bitch and moan about how that will make cars too expensive for most consumers, don’t let them fool you. The Union of Concerned Scientists says existing technology, such as advanced metals and transmissions, could raise vehicle mileage to an average of 40 mpg without significantly affecting prices. And, truth be told, thee and me both know that they have those computer sensors on cars made after 1995 rigged so that cars can only get so much MPG. They just need to unhack them! More than likely the Japanese and South Koreans are all set and ready to meet whatever requirements that we set for them. Lower speed limits: It is a known fact that above the mid 50s MPH, the consumption of gas rises dramatically. That’s just waste. Telecommuting: Tax breaks should be given to businesses to encourage them to allow their employees to work from home. As spread out and sprawling as Los Angeles is, for example, any business that opens offices in different parts of the city should be given tax breaks. This would lessen congestion and waste of fuel and also help the commercial real estate market These are a few ideas. No shortage of ideas exists, this is for sure. Some of them national, some of them local. Some of the ideas are brilliant, some of them ware workable and some of them uh… neeed more work! So what options exist for you if you want to lower your gas consumption? Now, here is the best solution that all of us can do… WATER4GAS is sharing information at a low price which folks can use in their garage or wherever to create a small device which instills hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their automobile runs on. What this does is make bite sized particles out of the ones that the system burns as fuel. Therefore it gets to use a lot more of the gasoline. With WATER4GAS you can reasonably expect to lower your gas consumption by 12%. But many are getting 30-50% improvement or even more. Those particles "musta" been pretty "blankin'" huge in some systems before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can lower your gas consumption. It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner. This information has been purchased by over 9000 people already and happy members number about 99%! So that's a start!
