Gas Mileage, Fuel Prices and the Detroit Three

We made it through another Christmas and it would seem that the Detroit Three got the best present of all... a breath of fresh air from the White House!

The rest of us continue being gifted with lower and lower gas prices... as the guys over in the middle east try to figure out how to get the price of a barrel of oil out of the crapper.

If you believe that gas prices will stay this low for long... you probably believe in Santa Clause too! So, what will you do when gas prices go back up? NOW would be a GREAT time to start building (or have it built and installed for you) your own Water-for-Gas system.

It's really simple to do! And, when you see it working and observe the results... you'll kick yourself for not getting started sooner! That's right. My little Geo has always gotten at least 30 MPG with NO additional effort. Using Hyper-Miling techniques, I get 40 MPG with it. Honestly!

That's right, a stock car off the show room floor, in 1990, getting 40 MPG by driving smart. I do have GREAT tires, courtesy of The Tire Rack and I use Synthetic Oil in the engine, courtesy of The Amsoil Corporation... I installed a low restriction air filter that has a LIFETIME warranty (pay once and never again) and a complete tuned exhaust system from PaceSetter. Everything from the Head to the Chrome tip at the rear of the car!

I have NEVER had the engine open! I will have to take the valve cover off soon and replace the valve cover gasket as the old one is leaking like a sieve... but that's it!

YOU must get over to the Water-for-Gas website and buy the book. Just read it! You will be amazed at how simple it is to build and how you can get all the stuff you need easily. Much of it comes from your local hardware store or Radio Shack.

Now, the last point in today's post. I am a devoted NASCAR fan. I don't always agree with all the rulings that NASCAR hands down... (who does?) but I love Racing and especially NASCAR racing! Today I found a link to what's HOT for the future of NASCAR racing. One team is looking for Sponsors. Honestly... I would bet that there are a bunch of teams looking for sponsors with the way the economy has changed since the start of Last season. However, this team is looking for GREEN SPONSORS!

Green will equate to money, of course, for sponsorship of the car, driver, team, parts, etc... but the big deal is that the team wants sponsors that Promote, Sell, Build, Install or do/are GREEN! If you're a certified GREEN company, they want to hear from you! If you're a GREEN Company and need to get the word out to the public, this is a FANTASTIC opportunity! Go to the website and look at the numbers. What numbers? Look at how many people attend the average race. How many people watch at home on TV? How many people watch re-runs? YOU will be seen if you sponsor this car! It WILL get extra attention just because of the fact that it will be sponsored by ALL GREEN sponsors! Get involved!

That's about it for this post. Have a Safe and Sane New Year's celebration and I'll see you in 2009!
