Tips how to save your car fuel while driving
Want to save your fuel? Here are some tips that you can used while driving:
Step 1
These tips are for automatic transmissions only, not for a manual transmission because with a manual you already have fuel control.
Step 2
The most important tip is for you to try not to stop and accelerate too much. By that i mean if you see a red light from far away just step off the accelerator and let the car glide to the light. Chances are by the time you get to the light it'll turn green and could just press on the accelerator again and this will prevent stopping and starting.
Step 3
You also want to stay a steady speed. Keep a good distance between your car and the car in front of you and keep a stable speed and try to prevent fluctuating your speed.
Step 4
Make sure you change your oil when necessary. And make sure you have enough air in your tires. Because if you don't your just basically throwing money out the window.

Electric Car Is Another Way To Combat Rising Fuel Cost
Another Way of Fuel Saving; Electric car
With fuel prices soaring and no end in sight, it only makes sense to look for alternatives. Face it, you need to travel for work, school, or shopping and without a car, these tasks are almost impossible. Not all communities and areas provide public transportation, so what do you do? Converting your car or buying an electric car makes perfect sense.
An electric car is a car that uses electric motors instead of an internal combustion engine. In essence, these cars are rechargeable. They have battery packs that are charged, thus powering the vehicle. You can even convert your already owned car to an electric. There are also cars that utilize both battery power and fuel power. These are known as hybrids and are widely available.
Electric cars are not a new concept. Some of the first cars were electric. The improvement of battery storage helped the electric car to flourish. Many early electric cars hold speed and distance records. Don't worry about electric cars being slow. They are not; this was proved on the popular show Mythbusters. Some of these vehicles can achieve speeds of up to 135 mph, and on a single charge can reach the fuel equivalent of 135 mpg U.S.
The use of Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries makes electric cars capable of distances of up to 245 miles. This is a great improvement from early batteries that could get up to 100 miles on a single charge. In December 2007, Fortune announced 11 new companies that will begin producing electric cars in the future.
