Cars, trucks and more

Thought I’d post you some of my first observations on the Suburban fuel economy. It hasn’t been the best, especially when I drove it without thinking at all about economical driving style. However, I’ve been trying to push the number towards better and I’d say that driving style is what matters the most.
So, here are [...]

One Katrina away from $3.00 gas
So, fuel efficiency standards are going up a little by 2011. Whohoo!
Yet, whom knows how many flex fuel credits and EV loopholes Congress will offer automakers. Loopholes are the Congressional speciality.
With or without an increase in fuel efficiency standards, automakers better be preparing for higher gas prices. Numerous energy analysts, [...]

Hybrid sales were down 50 percent in November, and they will probably be about the same in December. Likewise, gasoline prices are now averaging $1.66 per gallon. So, aside from economic problems, one can only assume gas prices are significantly contributing to the hybrid sales slide.
Yet, 2009 will see a number [...]

Even Barack doesn’t have much high ground
I remember, just as gas prices were rising, a press conference that members of Congress had at a Washington DC gas station to address the rising cost of gasoline prices. Even though the gas station was just ONE block from Congressional offices, most members drove. Even worse, their drivers [...]

The gas guzzler is done?
Well, that’s probably not going to be true anytime soon, but the wild popularity of gas-guzzlers is dead. That’s a step, and as I watch the automakers testify before Congress, I need some hope.
If the recession hitting the US lasts as long, including the recovery, as some economists are predicting, any [...]

I’ve seen the future and I like it
Check out Honda’s new sport fuel cell vehicle. Based on the same fuel cell technology in the Clarity fuel cell vehicle, the FCSPORT is about to make me beg for the hydrogen highway Now!

My friend from work got in touch with someone who promoted this FFI product called MPG Caps. He bought a few of those caps to test and also told me about them. He claimed that he noticed a decrease in fuel consumption and ofcourse I wanted to try it, too. Surprisingly, my Jeep’s consumption went [...]
