Saving Gas

The price of oil is going up constantly with natural disasters helping when they really don't have to, because the big oil companies and government can keep them up easy enough without any help at all.
Everyone has saving gas on their mind, at least for a few minutes while they are filling up their vehicles.

Don't worry! Winter is coming! With the recent happenings in the gulf the ground work is set for high gas and heating oil prices this winter. People around here are piling in the wood. I can't see any savings with wood now with prices so high unless you have your own supply, except saving oil for use as gas and diesel fuel. Saving Crude any way we can is the secret, I guess.

I can't wait to see what happens next. Will we go back to the seventies and early eighties or have we progressed enough to move forward with newer cleaner energy?

I have been using a catalyst in gas, diesel, and my home heating oil for a cleaner more complete burning of any fuel I use. Everything I have used it in has had varied fuel savings, but all burn noticeably cleaner and more complete. For more inf on what I use for a catalyst, leave a post and I will send the info.

I know this is only a patch, on a huge problem. But what if everyone cut their fossil fuel usage just a tad?? One gallon of gas or diesel a week per person. Not an unreachable goal. I achieved this much just using my catalyst and adjusting my driving habits a little. How many barrels of crude a week could this save? Sorry I am too tired today to count that high.

The initial savings is only the tip of the iceberg. Pollutants drop dramatically as usage drops, and raising the efficiency of what we use by a mere 10 to 20% could cut total emissions in half. Again , too tired for explaining every little number. Think about it. Every unburned gallon = 100% cut in emissions per gallon.

Depending on how you use your 10 -20% more per gallon dictates how much you save on emissions and MPG. Using it for power-your MPG stays about the same and your emissions drop the percentage of efficiency gained + engine and vehicle specific variables. Choose to lift your foot and use efficiency gained for more MPG. Now we are back to; every unburned gallon of fuel = 100% less emissions per gallon. See, it's not hard to really make a difference in how much we pollute every day, if everyone tried.
