Dear Friends,
With gas prices just getting higher and higher, it's always a good time to talk about fuel economy! Care2 has some awesome articles on getting the best gas mileage possible, stories about hybrid cars, a primer on biodiesel and something on the true alternative: Riding a bike!
Obviously what kind of car you have can affect your gas mileage, but it's also how you take care of that car and how you drive it. For example, you can get 6 to 20 percent higher mpg with a properly tuned engine. Learn more here.
12 Tips for Stretching a Tank of Gas
Thinking about a hybrid car? Learn all about what many believe is the simplest, most effective, most affordable short-term way to reduce fossil fuel consumption in passenger cars and the environmental impact of driving motor vehicles.
Drivers' Ed on Hybrid Cars
Another great alternative is biodiesel, the original fuel for engines invented in 1895. Get more information on this environmentally-friendly choice for transportation, from the "Solar Living Source Book."
Biodiesel Cars
But don't discount the idea of eschewing cars altogether. Riding your bike is not only good for the planet, it's good for you: It's great exercise, it can boost your mood, and much more.
Benefits of Biking
Cheers!
