don't run your heater to save gas!

How does Hawaii have an extreme climate? It doesn't get below 60 or over 90 Fahrenheit. I'm calling bullshit.
-
Best way to save fuel: don't be so obese!

I agree with this 100%

If you want to save 40 pounds from your cars' weight (i.e. junk in the trunk), carry less fuel. Each gallon weighs about 6 pounds. If your car has a 20 gallon tank, you will save about 60 pounds by never filling it above 1/2.
I am not seriously suggesting this - I am just sayin'... -
TRANSPARENT SHIRT.

In Germany, Diesel is a lot cheaper than gasoline.

I just wondering the other day how much the 1-2 gallons of windshield washer fluid, that I rarely use, has cost me over the 17 year life of my Camry. It's only a few pounds, but it all adds up.

Auto manufacturers have the technology to produce 60mpg+ cars on regular gasoline. They've had this technology since the 80's. But they don't want you to have it. Why? Money that's why. Auto companies gasoline companies they all want to milk you for everything you're worth. The Honda Civic HF got 60 mpg. GM produced a complete hundred percent electric car in the 90's and then they took them all back. That's right by the government intervention people who bought this electric vehicle had it taken away from them. It was completely efficient and worked well better than any electric vehicle we have today. They kept it quiet. What you can find more information on google or YouTube. We can complain about our stupid world again and again and again nothing will ever change the rich will continue getting richer. Because they know that they can lie to you. And they know how to keep you dumb. So unless you're ready to begin a real revolution where you have to fight and probably kill these bastards shut up bend over and take it up the ass. Ask if you can have fries with that s*** sandwich.

It makes sense that more people buy a prius than a diesel since the fuel costs are lower.

@1:28 My proposal is to have a two stage air conditioning system that has an evaporative cooler as the first stage (swamp cooler) and a conventional air conditioner as the second stage.
The swamp cooler could be used when the temperature outside is not too hot.
It should help save on fuel by cooling the air intake to the conventional air conditioner (when needed).
It would have a freeze warning in case it is forgotten to drain the evaporative cooler
during freezing weather.
