Folks,
Solution #3: More and Better Electric Cars looks ok but it has so many downfalls. Anyway, we gotta wait and see the better alternative source for gasoline.For short term, i think, we HAVE TO worry about the big hike in gas price. I've found some interesting things which certainly helps us to consume lesser gas. Here we go,
1. Turn off the AC five minutes before you reach your destination and don't keep it working until the last second.
2. Park your car in the shade if you can, so you won't have to keep the AC working as hard when you go somewhere. When you park your car in the shade, you also reduce the amount of fuel that evaporates.
3. Avoid fast braking.
4. If you have a cruise control and there isn't a whole lot of traffic, you probably should use it (it will keep the speed constant and hence doesn't need to accelerate).
5. Reduce weight. Try to take unused heavy things out of your trunk. (F=ma).
6. Make sure your Fuel Cap is o.k. In the US every year 147 million Gallons of Fuel are lost due to evaporation.
thanks.
