		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Learn some of the best tips to get optimum gas mileage. Here we've compiled 10 more tips to help you stretch your dollar at the gas station!If you have not seen our previous article (10 Tips For Saving Cash On Your Gas), you might want to do a search for it on our website (<A HREF=http://www.usgastracker.org><a href="http://www.usgastracker.org">http://www.usgastracker.org</a></A>) or on <A HREF=http://www.isnare.com><a href="http://www.isnare.com">http://www.isnare.com</a></A>Alright, on to the tips!Tip 1: Watch Your GasYou should be aware of the amount of fuel you use. Notice your car's performance, such as the mileage per gallon. When fuel efficiency decreases, your car may need servicing.Tip 2: Buy Gas from a Busy StationA gas station that is consistently busy has to refill its underground tanks regularly. Slower stations that don't refill as often may have stale contaminated gas in its underground tanks, and this contamination will affect your fuel economy.Tip 3: Turn the NozzleAfter you have finished filling up your tank, you should twist the gas pump nozzle a full 180 degrees. </P><P>This will drain a bit more gas into your tank, sometimes up to an entire half cup. If you don't do this, the extra gas would just be a bonus to the next gas customer.Tip 4: Tighten the Gas CapTighten your gas cap until it clicks. This will help prevent the gasoline from evaporating and escaping.Tip 5: Check Your Car's Tire PressureYou should check your car's tire pressure regularly. Under inflated tires reduce your car's fuel efficiency, and also causes premature tire wear, affecting the life-span of your tires.Tip 6: Remove Excess Weight from Your CarYou should remove excess weight from your car. Some people use the car trunk as a storage space, adding unnecessary weight to the car. </P><P>This will reduce your car's fuel efficiency.Tip 7: Keep Your Car Tuned-UpAlways keep your car tuned up to ensure optimum performance. Car's that have not been serviced for a long time often have poorer fuel efficiency.Tip 8: Use Your Car LessYou can try to arrange car pools with co-workers to reduce the cost of getting to work. To save even more, you can drive less and walk, bike or run to your intended destination, especially if the place is nearby.Tip 9: Change Your Work Start TimeIf it is possible, change your work start and end time to avoid traffic congestions. Stopping and going affects your gas mileage.Tip 10: Don't Fill Up When the Price is HighLastly, when the price is high, don't fill up. You should wait for the prices to go down before you fill up, especially if your gas tank is more than half full. </P><P>Filling up when the price is high tells the gas companies that people are willing to pay ridiculous prices for gasoline.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Tires often get worn under the influence of weather or road conditions. Replacing the tires with brand new ones may not be such a good option, especially when you know that tires will get worn down quite frequently. But Discount Tires represent a cheaper alternative. <br />
<br />
Discount Tires can be purchased at many stores. If you are the busy type, there are many websites where you can shop online for them. </P><P>One just needs to enter the make and model of the vehicle, and certain other specifications, for the website to display the best option. After purchase, you need not wait for weeks for the shipment to arrive. You may be asked to drive in to a service station nearby, where mechanics will be waiting with your Discount Tires to be mounted on your vehicle. <br />
<br />
After you have made a decision to go in for Discount Tires, it is essential to keep a few things in mind before going for the actual purchase. First of all, one needs to be completely aware of the vehicular requirements for tires, such as the speed index of the tires and the rating for load. </P><P>These should not be lower than your original set of tires that came with your vehicle. The speed index indicates the safe top speed of the tire, and needs to be taken seriously. Generally, a decreased speed rating means that the tire's ability to contribute the overall performance of the automobile is reduced. <br />
<br />
Secondly, it is necessary to fully understand the driving or riding conditions under which your tires will be operating. These will give you a good idea as to how much stress your tires are subjected to, and can be an important factor influencing your decision to purchase Discount Tires. </P><P>The rating and size of tires and other personal preferences that you may choose to see in your Discount Tires can also be asked for.  <br />
<br />
One should also check the recommended size of the tire for the vehicle. The permissible limit of cars and vans is in the range of ?2-3%. A deviation within this range is permitted for these types of vehicles. For sport utility vehicles and pick-up trucks the tire size can vary up to 15%. </P><P><br />
<br />
The tread life can be a good parameter to examine. If the grading is high, your tires will last longer. The tread life is determined by manufacturers under standard conditions. You can also go in for different tires customized for varying seasons in order to keep the wear and tear to the minimum and extend the life of your automobile tires.   <br />
<br />
The most common ingredient of Discount Tires is rubber. </P><P>In addition, there are many other ingredients which are used in varying proportions to make these tires. <br />
<br />
It is very important that you consult someone who owns a set of Discount Tires and has used them. It will be even better if you consult someone who owns a vehicle of the same make. This will help in getting some practical tips. You should also consult your local supplier and have a detailed discussion with him to narrow down your search. </P><P>The local supplier may, based on your needs, suggest the best possible option.  <br />
<br />
After purchasing the tires, you may be asked to shell out some more money towards fitting and wheel balancing, to be done by the supplier. If you feel that you are being overcharged, you can always go back to your local mechanic, who may do the whole thing at a reasonable price. Now it is important that the standard follow-up activities, like wheel balancing, are done. Purchasing a set of Discount Tires does not mean that you forego these important procedures. </P><P>They are essential for the smooth operation of your vehicle. <br />
<br />
Thus, with all the available options, the purchase of Discount Tires is becoming an easier job.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Now that the elections are over and we enter that pre-holiday lull when we feel the weather turning ever colder and prepare for the holidays and winter, the first thing we should be concerned with is winterizing our cars and trucks for safety."Regularly scheduled maintenance is the least expensive and easiest way to protect your safety and your investment," according to master mechanic, Ronnie Tamburro, at Bedford Greenwich Automotive.  "We specialize in high-end vehicles and we know how costly waiting too long to make a repair or having to replace these cars and trucks can be."They seem like small things, according to Bedford Greenwich Automotive, but they are the standard items we all know about: changing oil and filters, rotating tires, checking brakes, and simply following the manufacturers recommended service intervals.  "Very few people take care of their vehicles the way they should for optimum performance, which, most of the year, only affects gas mileage and wear and tear on the vehicle, but with the cold weather and snow, it can affect safety as well."What can you do to ensure you're ready for freezing temperatures?  Replace worn tires, check battery, have anti-freeze flushed, have belts checked and replaced if cracked or brittle, check lights, replace windshield wipers with winter blades, check the oil, keep an eye out for any oil or other fluid leaks, listen for changes in the way your car sounds and feels, have spark plugs, air filters, fuel filters, brakes and all safety items thoroughly checked."Pre-maintenance inspections and repairs are very important with all high-end vehicles, particularly Land Rovers, Mercedes, Audis and BMWs because winter breakdowns really can be prevented," according to Land Rover expert Ronnie Tamburro.  "For high resale of the vehicle, regular maintenance and good records are also vital.  Buyers like to know the history of the vehicle so Bedford Greenwich Automotive keeps a history of every car we have repaired."Tamburro also cautioned individuals to have their cars inspected for possible exhaust leaks. </P><P> "When the weather gets cold," he says, "people roll up their windows and existing exhaust leaks will cause a build up of carbon monoxide in the cab of the car.  This can cause carbon monoxide poisoning."  The bottom line according to Bedford Greenwich Automotive is to get your car fully winterized by a mechanic you trust before the holidays and cold weather begin.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>(ContentDesk) September 16, 2005 -- With self-serve regular gas averaging more than $3 a gallon for the first time in U.S. history, everyone is looking for ways to conserve gas and save money. The editors of SheKnows.com have put together a list of 44 ways you can save money on gas. Here, find 11 of these tips. (Check out SheKnows.com/save-gas for the other 33 money-saving ideas.)1. </P><P>Drive smart: Aggressive driving (meaning quick acceleration, hard braking and speeding) wastes gas. In fact, it can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds, and by five percent on the city streets. 2. Choose wisely: Don't assume that neighboring gas stations will have the same prices -- check around. Also note that gas stations near freeways and popularly-traveled roads, as well as those in high-income areas, will charge more. </P><P>3. Just park it: Don't circle the lot hoping for a great parking space. Take the shortest route to a free space and walk from there. Circling doesn't just waste gas, but is usually ultimately slower than simply parking somewhere a little less convenient and walking. 4. </P><P>Get pumped up: Keep your tires properly inflated and aligned to increase gas mileage by up to three percent. Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by nearly half a percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires. Properly inflated tires are also safer and last longer. 5. Be cool: If you're hot, don't open the windows -- they increase drag and decrease gas mileage, especially at highway speeds. </P><P>Ultimately, using the air conditioner is cheaper to run, though you should try to minimize your use of the AC. When you can, use the vents to bring in outside air. 6. Go the speed limit: Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. Each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional 15 to 20 cents per gallon of gas. </P><P>Is it worth it?7. Lock it up: If your tank isn't secured, get a locking gas cap. With prices so high, you're more of a target for siphoners if you're not locked up tight. Locking gas caps are available at most auto parts stores. 8. </P><P>Stay in tune: Fixing a car that is out of tune or has failed an emissions test can improve its gas mileage by an average of about four percent (though your results will vary based on the kind of repair, and how well the job is done). 9. Close the gate: It's an urban myth that driving a pickup truck with the tailgate down will get better mileage by decreasing wind resistance. In fact, a study published by the National Research Council of Canada says that despite what you'd think, keeping it down (or using a mesh tailgate in its place) actually has the opposite effect. When the tailgate is up, a bubble of air forms in the truck bed, allowing air to flow more smoothly over and off the truck -- and without as much drag. </P><P>(A tonneau cover works best of all.)10. Re-think your route: Look into lesser-traveled routes where you can travel at a steady pace instead of joining in on rush hour traffic. (Your blood pressure will thank you for it, too.) 11. Figure it out first: Check maps (especially those online) before you go to make sure you know how to get where you're doing. You'll avoid the hassle, time spent and gas used by getting lost -- or by having to pull over for directions. </P><P>Want more ideas?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>With gas prices only getting higher, consumers are trying to find the answer to a monthly expense that once averaged $70 that is now costing them over $150 and climbing.  All predictions only point for the cost of oil to go up and some say that $5/gallon is not too far off.  Consumers can take some simple steps to improve this situation, ie. keeping their vehicles properly tuned, changing the air filter at each oil change, keeping the tires properly inflated, easing off the accelerator, and planning trips to drive less.The 4-E Corporation has now made a product available to the average consumer that will increase engine efficiency and performance.  Ethos FR reduces fuel costs by producing a net gain in mileage well above cost of the product. </P><P> Ethos FR has been around over 10 years, with sales over $100 million a year.  Two of its major customers are the U.S. Military and China.  They have been using Ethos FR to provide an answer to environmental regulations and improving their fuel consumption costs.  Ethos FR burns out 99.96 of all toxic pollutant from emmisions. </P><P> This reduces emmisions above 30%.  By improving the efficiency in burning fuel, this has also created major savings in fuel consumption costs as well as engine maintenance costs.  Ethos FR also lubricates the engine's entire system that will improve the power performance to "like new" levels.  Using Ethos FR is good for the economy and the environment.  We have no control of the price of gas, but we can now get more mileage from our engines AND clean up the air too!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>(ARA) - The yearly routine of digging up last year's mulch and replacing it with a fresh supply can be time consuming, messy and expensive. But one new product can put consumers on the road to a full decade of worry-free mulching -- and that road is paved with recycled rubber.Each year, millions of truck tires are recycled nationwide. The rubber from these tires does not rot, fade or break down, even after years of exposure to the elements. As a result, discarded tires are treaded treasures for Rubberific Mulch, which gives new life to old tires by turning them into one of the longest lasting and safest ground coverings on the market.  "Not only does Rubberific Mulch help the environment by recycling old tires that otherwise would languish in landfills, but it offers time- and cost-saving alternatives to traditional mulch," says Mike Miller, Rubberific Mulch president. </P><P>"It has the appearance of wood-based mulch, but with a unique durability that will last for ten years, with very little upkeep."To help consumers choose the type of mulch that is best for a lawn or garden, the experts at Rubberific Mulch suggest asking the following questions:<ul>	<li>Attractiveness -- Will the mulch look good in the front lawn or garden?	<li>Longevity and durability -- Does the mulch hold up for long periods of time, even through inclement weather?	<li>Protection -- Will the mulch protect and benefit the plants it surrounds?</ul>For consumers seeking the ideal mix of attractiveness, durability and year-round protection, Rubberific Mulch is a cost-effective solution. The texture, size and shape of the shredded rubber is virtually identical to wood mulch, and is available in realistic colors, such as cypress, redwood, cedar and earthtone. Its strength allows it to withstand wind, rain, snow and ice with little or no washout, and it will not rod or fade, even under stifling humidity and harsh sunlight. Plants will reap additional benefits from Rubberific Mulch, which does not attract insects and will not absorb water meant for them.For backyards with swing sets or other kid-playing zones, Rubberific Mulch offers the additional benefit of superior safety. The impact of a child's fall is significantly less on the rubber-based mulch than on more traditional ground coverings. </P><P>Rubberific Mulch is available for purchase at select Lowe's home improvement centers throughout the Midwest.  It also can be ordered in a variety of custom colors at <a href="http://www.rubberificmulch.com" target=new>www.rubberificmulch.com</a>, or by calling (866) 936-8524.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>New vs used. Which car is right for you? Consider the following.Owning a brand new car is exciting. But financially speaking, it makes more sense to buy a used car. As soon as you drive a new car off the lot, it loses a great portion of its value. This is because your car is no longer "new". </P><P>New cars lose about 40% of their value within 3 years, then depreciation starts to slow down. Why not buy a used car and allow someone else to take that depreciation hit? The previous owner will have absorbed the steepest part of the depreciation cycle. At that point the costs of owning and operating the car will be reduced. The money you save on depreciation will surely go a long way.Another benefit of buying used is lower cost. By buying used you pay less. </P><P>You will also save on financing costs, insurance premiums, registration and licensing fees. You don't have to worry about paying sales tax.As with everything else there are a few downsides to buying a used car. There are greater chances for costly unwarranted repairs. You may very soon have to do major maintenance on your car, including replacing tires, battery, brakes, muffler, and perhaps even the transmission.A used car is usually less reliable. You don't know exactly what you're getting into and how the previous owner treated the car. </P><P>However, every situation is different and some used models may actually be far more reliable than some new ones.If you can pay cash, go the new car way. Enjoy the feeling of knowing you're the original owner of a new car in mint condition. Nothing can replace that feeling. Otherwise do not hang your hat higher than you can reach. Practice financial prudence. </P><P>Save your money and comfort yourself knowing that one day you will be able to afford that dream car. One day when money is no object.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>If your idea of car detailing is washing and waxing your car, you might be in for a bit of a shock. While you can save a lot of money making this a do-it-yourself (DIY) project, this is definitely a skill which has been developed over the years.If you do not want to pay the detail shops to perform this work for you, buying a <a href="http://www.themotorbookstore.com/automotive-detailing.html">DIY manual on car detailing</a> is probably the next best step. A manual will provide time-saving shortcuts, as well as tips to give you the professional edge you need.Repair Minor Body DamageWe all hate the annoying dings and scratches we get from everyday driving. Luckily, a repair book can save you a lot of money. There are many how-to tips which will enable you to repair simple dents (such as hail damage), saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars.Waxing and Buffing TechniquesThink you know how to wax a car? Well, after reading a manual you might find out you didn't know as much as you thought! First, you need to start with the right type of polish or wax for your vehicle. </P><P>Understanding the chemical and material makeup which provides the best shine and long-term protection will help you determine what type of wax to buy. Most do-it-yourself guides will even list a comparison of the most popular brands (so make sure you purchase a recent version).Interior PreservationThe best way to make sure you don't have to restore your interior is by preserving it. Easy how-to instructions explain the best way to care for leather, synthetic leather, vinyl, and cloth seats. You will also learn about wear patterns, and how to prevent them. Remember, prevention is the best medicine!Interior RestorationAlthough it is possible to completely restore the interior of a vehicle by having new upholstery installed, this is not always the most practical?or cheapest?method. </P><P>Car detailing manuals demonstrate common methods to repair small tears in cloth, leather, and vinyl. They will also show you how to bring life back into your worn fabric, which is valuable since it is not always easy to find an exact match on vintage vehicles.Engine DetailingIf you have ever purchased a car, surely one of the first things you did was open the hood to look at the engine ? even if you didn't have a clue what you were looking for! Whether you are looking to care for your existing car, baby your classic, or spruce up a bit before you sell, engine detailing is one of the most important steps in car detailing.It is extremely important to follow the instructions in the do-it-yourself manuals. Some cleaning chemicals can cause accelerated deterioration of hoses and electrical components. Certain cleansers are not meant for automotive use, and their residue can remain flammable for several hours. Following a manual will prevent you from making the basic mistakes, show you the best techniques and tools to use (saving you scrapes on your hands as well as time), and can even help you create your own cleaning products which are just as effective as the one sold in your automotive store.Wheel and Tire MaintenanceKeeping your tires looking good is a great way to keep your car looking good as new. </P><P>While there are many great products out there to make your tires look great, you should know which ones clean, and which ones leave a residue all over the rubber which will haunt you once the shine wears off. When it come to wheels, it is important to keep them clean and protected. Small rocks and other debris on the road will put small pits in your wheels, making them more susceptible to rust and corrosion. A good how-to book shows you how to clean and protect your wheels so they look brand new for years.It Just Makes SenseOwning a how-to manual or book just makes sense. For a few dollars, you will have a wealth of knowledge and a handy reference guide to look at while you are detailing your car. </P><P>You will pick up time-saving techniques and money-saving tricks that will improve the overall quality and safety of your DIY projects.It just may turn out that <a href="http://www.themotorbookstore.com/detailing1.html">car detailing</a> will be a perfect new hobby for you!. </P>]]></content:encoded>
