With everyone trying to save a buck and the price of gas not going down much in the near future, here are five simple tips to help you get the most out of your gas money:
Don’t buy premium if you don’t need to. Check your owners manual, you may be surprised to find out the manufacturer recommends a lower octane than you think!
Group and schedule your errands together. If you drop your kids off at school in the morning why not pick up your dry cleaning and hit the market on the way home instead of making a separate trips later?
No junk in the trunk! The heavier your car weighs, the more gas it consumes. Keep your trunk and backseat free of unneeded items and extra weight.
Slow down and drive at a steady speed. The faster you speed the fewer MPG you’ll get. Also keeping a steady speed with less quick starts or hard braking will burn less fuel than you need to.
Check tire inflation. Under-inflated tires cause more drag and burn more fuel than properly inflated ones.
Only use the AC on the highway. At slower speeds around town it’s more fuel efficient to leave the windows down and the AC off. Once you get on the highway and speeds reach 50mph it’s actually MORE fuel efficient to roll the windows up and use the AC as the open windows cause more drag.
Nothing earth-shattering, just some simple things that can add up to a few more bucks in your pocket instead of the pump.

In an attempt to raise money for a charity helping soldiers and set a record with his amphibious Renault Laguna, a man in England will attempt to be the first to steer a car across the Irish Sea.
The journey is 23 miles long and should take about 6 hours to complete… if he and his buddies are able to stay afloat!
Of course we here at Buy Hawaiian Seat Covers can’t help but comment that we’re sure his seats will take a beating and be in need of some car seat covers when he finishes.
An Iowa based company called Renewable Energy Group, (REG), is partnering with Hawaiian Electric Company to supply the state’s utility with 400,000 gallons of biodiesel for their new Campbell Industrial Park Generating Unit.
REG will produce biodiesel from used cooking oil and waste animal fat for testing on the 110‐megawatt combustion turbine generator.
“Being able to use liquid renewable fuels in our generating units is one of many steps ‐‐ including more electricity from other renewable sources such as solar, wind, biomass and the ocean ‐‐ to meet our goal of providing reliable electric service while reducing Hawaii’s dependence on fossil fuels”, said Hawaiian Electric executive vice president Robbie Alm.
We here at Buy Hawaiian Seat Covers salute Hawaii’s efforts at going green.
‘Mighty Mo’ was pushed and pulled by 4 tugboats just before sunrise this morning for 2 miles until it reached it’s destination at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard’s Drydock 4, the largest of the shipyard’s four drydocks, where it will remain until January 2010 while getting needed repairs and maintenance.
Many veterans were on hand to witness the historical event, some of whom even served on the mighty ship.
The 887-foot battleship, the last one ever built for the U.S. fleet, is famous for its “surrender deck,” marked with the brass plaque that will undergo polishing. The Missouri is barred by its agreement with the Navy from firing up its engines inside Pearl Harbor so it proceeded without any power or running water during its move.
