Obama on inflating your tires – Obama on tire pressure. Saving how much oil?

Obama on inflating your tires. His facts are wrong: “…they’re making fun of a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4%” Reality: Experts say you may gain 3 to 4% miles per gallon if you properly inflate under inflated tires. Obama obviously uses “oil consumption” because it is politically expedient. He hopes you will just keep smiling and not be smart enough to figure out the lies. I am not arguing it’s a bad idea to keep your tires properly inflated. In fact the Department of Energy clearly states: “You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent…” www.fueleconomy.gov Apart from Obama’s obvious flaw that he believes everyone in the US is driving on poorly inflated tires, not all imported oil is used for gasoline or diesel. Where are the BO experts? He says “…every expert says…” this. I checked his web site and there are no sources listed. So you see, BO is comparing apples to oranges in order to justify his position. That’s just bad BO Obama Lies. Obama Liar. Obama Can’t tell the truth. Obama is bad at math.

How much does it cost to fill up the new honda hydrogen fuel cell car (FCX Clarity)?

How much does it cost to fill up the new honda hydrogen fuel cell car (FCX Clarity)?

how much water is generated per mile from a hydrogen fuel cell car?

let’s say i drive three hundred miles, how much water has been produced by the fuel cell?

How Much will it cost to Electrify my Prius or any other car?

HappyHandyman.net Pat Barber asks, “HOW MUCH DOES IT COST” to convert a car into an Electric-Gas-Hydrogen hybrid? Don’t wait for Toyota. 120+ mpg is here now. Pat, Dr. Steve Eaton and Ian Wickson talk how-to, safety, investment return and financing issues for Alternative Fuel Car Conversions. http REVConversions.com Ian’s Jeep CJ-7 has an Electric motor and a lead battery bank that can get 50 miles on a charge. What if you found a way to STAY PLUGGED IN? REV and Dr. Eaton have done just that with a gas electric generator on a trailer that keeps the Jeep’s battery pack topped off, fully charged. Then they went a step further and added a pair of water fuel cells that add hydrogen gas to the gas generator motor making the setup a electric-gas-water hybrid. What does that mean? Instead of getting only 50 miles of range from a charge and then having to stop for 4-8 hours and re-charge, you add 10 gallons of gas extend the range to over 1200 miles, netting over 120 mpg!

Hybrid Cars ? Much More Than Just A Concept

Hybrid Cars are no longer showcased as concept models in auto-shows and they are definitely not confined to the testing laboratories. These vehicles are already out on the roads and they are proving out to be quite a refreshing change.

 

Hybrid Cars represent the idea behind reducing emissions, concentrating on alternative sources of energy and increasing the fuel efficiency in vehicles. The most common Hybrids these days usually host two types of engines; a gasoline internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors. Additionally, these vehicles also host Regenerative Braking Systems that convert kinetic energy produced by braking into electrical energy that is utilized to power the vehicle as well as the on-board electronics.

 

The term Hybrid Vehicle however represents any type of vehicle that is powered by two or more distinct sources.

 

It is a fact that Hybrid Cars are up to 40% more fuel efficient than normal vehicles and produce 60% lesser emissions as well. If you buy a hybrid vehicle, you not only do good for your pocket but also for the environment. The US Government recently announced added incentives and tax benefits for hybrid car owners to popularize this concept.

 

Hybrid Cars depend on two entirely different types of engines that complement each other to automatically regulate the fuel consumption and power output of the vehicle depending on its speed. The electric motor works when the vehicle is traveling at lower speeds or stationary e.g. in traffic jams whereas the gasoline engine kicks in when the speeds reaches in excess of 40 mph to provide the extra power needed. The internal combustion engine is powered by gasoline and while it is running, the electric motor and other electricity storage equipment get charged and ready to take over when the speed drops.

 

Another feature of these vehicles that allows them to save fuel is the hibernation mode wherein the vehicle utilizes least amounts of electric energy while the vehicle is stationary.

 

Hybrid Cars also called HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles) are much better than electric vehicles in terms of performance at higher speeds and power output. Also, two separate engines mean that even if one engine develops a snag, there is always another engine to prevent you from being stranded.

 

Hybrid Vehicles will surely become an established segment in the years to come since there is already a crisis to save the environment from pollution and the natural resources from over-exploitation.

 

Although Hybrid Cars do wonders to the environment and prove fuel efficient too, they are not an easy buy. These vehicles cost a good 40% more than your average car of the same segment.

 

These cars are heavy on maintenance too. Two engines mean more parts that may need servicing and repairing in due course of time. There is a lot of complex machinery used in these cars as well. If there is a replacement part needed for such a vehicle, it costs almost twice as much as a normal auto part does.

 

Although manufacturers might convince you that these vehicles come with warranty for 30,000 miles, this warranty does not necessarily cover any replacement of parts.

 

There is no doubt that with improvements in technology, modern Hybrid Vehicles will continue to evolve. There could be a case wherein Hybrid Vehicles take over other segments in the car market owing to the high demand for fuel efficient and environment friendly vehicles. Continuous improvements in technology will lower the costs as well. All we need to do is just wait and watch.

Frugal Lifestyle: How Much is Your Job Costing You?

When we thing about working, we generally focus on the hours we work per week and the total paycheck. While it’s true that getting the most pay for your hard work is critical, there are other aspects to consider when thinking about the value of your job.

While employment brings you income, but it costs you as well. If you are on track with living a simpler, healthier, greener lifestyle, you need to consider all drains on your budget including this one.

Here are 5 ways your job may be costing you:

1. Commute expenses.

A. How much gas are you when you travel to work? Figure out your average gas mileage:

1) The day before your work week begins, fill your car with gas and jot down the mileage reading on your odometer.

2) Get the accurate distance of your drive, not your estimate but the mileage from your odometer. Jot down the mileage when you leave home and the mileage when you park in the lot then subtract them. Or use your vacation mileage counter, if you have one.

3) When the tank is low, fill the tank again. Note down the number of gallons you’ve used and the miles you’ve driven.

4) Divide the miles by the number of gallons. For example, if you have driven 355 miles and used 10 gallons of gas, you would divide 355 by 10. Your miles per gallon would be 35.5.

5) Take your distance to work from #3, multiply by 2 to get the to-and-from amount. Then multiply by the number of days you work per month. For example, if you drive 5 miles to work, then your to-and-from distance is 10 miles per day. If you work 20 days per month, you drive a total of 200 miles per month.

6) Multiply the miles per month by your gas mileage. In this case 200 miles times 35.5 miles per gallon equals 5.63 gallons per month.

7) With gas at $2.00 per gallon, your total gas allowance for your job is $11.26 per month.

B. Do you own your car because of this job? If so, add your car payments, insurance, and maintenance costs per month. Even stops at the car wash should be included. The average older car costs about $1200 per year in repairs, so add $100 per month for repairs as well, if your car is more than 5 years old.

2. Does your closet contain clothes you consider your work clothes? If so, how much does it cost to maintain your wardrobe. For example, bank tellers and clerks at upscale clothing stores are expected to look classy on a very un-classy paycheck. How much is your work wardrobe worth? And how much does it take to maintain it?

3. Do you pay for daycare or after-school care? Be sure to add those expenses to your list along with special food, diapers, or other materials these services require.

4. What about the fatigue factor? Do you stop for fast food or call out for pizza because you are so tired you can’t face the kitchen routine? Mark those charges on your kitchen calendar (Ordered Pizza, $25) and add them up at the end of the month. Add 75% of the total to your monthly work expense list since you would still pay about 25% of the cost when you cook a meal.

Once you have your 4 amounts, think about how you could cut costs in each category. By shopping for consignment items? Paying a student for after-school care instead of a childcare service? Trading in for a more fuel-efficient car?

Don’t rule out the possibility of finding a job closer to home or a job with flexible hours so you could avoid childcare expenses. Working at home eliminates the car, wardrobe, and childcare altogether. Even at a greatly reduced income, you may still come out ahead. Is that an option for you?

No matter how large your paycheck seems, what really matters is how much you get to keep.
