Good Ideas For Conservation

By: GARKO

Many suggestions are flying around on solutions on how to save fossil fuel through conservation. Some folks have been bold and dumb enough to actually recommend ideas like Detroit Democrat Dingle’s fifty cents tax on every gallon of gasoline. That shocks me but I guess that it makes more sense to some than to others. If you are talking to a guy who owns his own small construction company and who drives a work truck full of equipment who can only eek out 14 MPG with that rig or else let his company crash then he would certainly be against such a surcharge or excise tax.
What we all can find common ground on is something needs to be done. The cost of oil yesterday was at an astronomical $108 a barrel after earlier surpassing $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.
The United States imports about two-thirds of its oil, so we can't do much about the supply side of the equation. What we can control is demand, and we can do that through various means of conservation.
Here are a few suggestions.
Demanding new mileage requirements from Detroit: The biggest broad stroke solution that we can effect as a country to loosen the chains that have us bound to Big Oil would be to significantly boost the bar on what new automobiles are required to attain as a minimum MPG. 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 such as sport utility vehicles 20.7 mpg.
Towards the end of 2007, Congress enacted the first substantial overhaul of so-called corporate average fuel economy, or CAFE, standards since the 1970s. Automakers are to meet a new standard to raise average mileage for both cars and light trucks to 35 mpg by 2020.
I say that they can do better. I say the nation's minimum mileage average should be no less than 50 mpg by 2020.
Naturally the automotive manufacturer companies will cry and complain about how they can’t do that without making cars too expensive for most consumers, but that's bull. 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: Fifty-five saves fuel and lives. It was true then and it's true now. Don't like it? Tough.
Telecommuting: To get people off the roads in L.A. and elsewhere and thus ease the pain of runaway gas prices, businesses should be given tax breaks for encouraging and enabling 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 do you do if you want to lower your fuel consumption?
Now, here is the best solution that all of us can do…
WATER4GAS is offering information for a fee which individuals can use in their garage or wherever to build a small device which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their car runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the ones that the engine uses as fuel. Because of the smaller size the engine gets to use much more of the fuel.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to lower your fuel consumption by 12%. In reality though many are obtaining thirty to fifty percent improvement or even more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty darn huge in some engines before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can lower your fuel consumption.
It also helps to lower emissions significantly.
This package of info has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND people already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So that's a start!
