Tips for Saving Fuel
Everyone likes it when they can save a little money off their everyday expenses, especially when it comes to motoring. With the cost of fuel continuing to rise, driving has become more expensive then ever. Whilst there are some costs which are fixed such as road tax and motor insurance there are some simple ways in which you can reduce your motoring expenses. Fuel consumption is the term given to the rate in which a vehicle uses petrol. Some cars are designed to be more fuel efficient than others and choosing one of these vehicles when you purchase your car will help to lower your fuel bills. However if you are not looking to buy a new car you can make simple adjustments to the way in which you drive your current car which will allow you to drive further for less.
Firstly it is important to ensure that you get your car serviced regularly as this will help to maintain engine efficiency. You should also get into the habit of checking your engine's oil levels on a frequent basis to ensure that they are at the required levels. A healthy engine will function better and result in a superior drive. Check your tyre pressures to make sure they are at the right levels for the type of journey you are making and the load of the car. Driving with under-inflated tyres will result in more rolling resistance and use more fuel. The correct measurements for your vehicle's tyre pressure will be available in your car's handbook. Try and lighten the load for your day to day driving. This means removing things from your car that are not required for that journey.
Extra weight in the boot or the body of the car will result in needing to use more fuel. Roof racks and boxes should be removed if there are not being used as they create wind resistance, which also increases fuel consumption. Try and plan your journey in advance so that you don't get lost or get stuck in slow moving traffic. If you have to run a number of small errands try and combine them so you are making one trip rather than several. When on the road drive smoothly, accelerating gently and avoid any unnecessary braking. Read the road so that you can predict when you will need to slow down and you can do so softly and if possible keep the car rolling. Harsh braking and stop / start driving will result in more fuel being used.
If you are driving a manual car then move up through the gears as soon as possible without the labouring the engine. Reduce your use of your car's air conditioning, as at low speeds there is a noticeable increase in the amount of fuel required to power these systems. Stick to the speed limits for the road you are on. The faster you are driving the more fuel you will use. For example driving at 70 mph uses up to 9% more fuel than driving at 60mph and 15% more than driving at 50mph. These simple steps if followed correctly will help you to drive with higher fuel efficiency and reduce those all important bills.

Wonder Plunger Measuring Cup $5.99 Now, I'm not a nutritional anthropologist, but I do know one. She tells me that for years, mankind has been wrestling with the problem of measuring wet and sticky ingredients. Imagine, for a moment, that you're a TV chef with a scientific approach to cooking. Precise measurement is critical to your recipes. If you were to fill your measuring cup full of honey, molasses, or peanut-butter, simply turning the ingredients out isn't quite so simple! Those wet and sticky ingredients do what they do - stick to the sides of your measuring cup. You'll either have to pull out your rubber spatula and scrape and scrape and scrape until you get most of the goop out, or live with the fact that you'll never be as precise as you like with your measurements. It might make you mad enough rend your trendy bowling shirts and pull your spikey hair out. Luckily, a solution is available. Placing a plunger base at the bottom of your measuring cup means you can push your sticky ingredients out in their entirety. One swipe of your spatula, and you've got all of your ingredients in your mixing bowl. It's such a simple and elegant solution, you'll be using this measuring cup for all of your measuring needs. It's definitely... [cue interrupting and quirky cooking-show music] |

Fuel Cells, Engines and Hydrogen $130 Fuel cell technology is the most exciting and legitimate alternative source of power currently available to us as world resources of non-renewable fuel continue to be depleted. No other power generating technology holds the same benefits that fuel cells offer, including high reliability and efficiency, negligible environmental impact, and security of supply. Fuel cells run on hydrogen – the simplest and most plentiful gas in the universe - although they can also run on carbon monoxide, methane, or even coal. Their applications are diverse, from powering automobiles, buildings and portable electronics, to converting methane gas from wastewater plants and landfills into electricity. Fuel Cells, Engines and Hydrogen is a controversial text that challenges the accepted industry parameters for measuring fuel cell performance and efficiency. Based on his inter-disciplinary experience in the fields of power, nuclear power, and desalination, the author contends that the development potential of the fuel cell is related to the quantity fuel chemical exergy, which, like electrical potential, is a quantitative measure of work done. The fuel cell community currently characterises these devices in terms of the enthalpy of combustion (calorific value) – however the author argues a correct, qualitatively different and fourfold larger characterisation is via the fuel chemical exergy, in units of work, and not energy. He asserts that the distortion introduced by this accepted perspective needs to be corrected before relatively efficient fuel cells, integrated with comparatively low performing gas turbines, reach the market. Fuel Cells, Engines and Hydrogen features a foreword by Dr Gerry Agnew, Executive VP Engineering of Rolls Royce Fuel Cells Systems Ltd. It is essential reading for all engineers involved with fuel cells and/ or the manufacture of hydrogen from natural gas, as well as academics in related disciplines such as thermodynamics, physical chemistry, materials, physics, mechanical and chemical engineering. |
