How to Obtain Better Gas Mileage

by: Ken Reno

During the early years, ten dollars per barrel was just the price of oil, but nowadays, it has reached a staggering price that makes ten dollars per barrel prehistoric in proportion.

Everybody has heard the news, (if really it's considered news at all), that gasoline price is continually increasing,
which brings us to the question: ?Can we do something to prevent gas price hike??

The world can?t do much to control the gas price increase.
But being frugal and wise in consuming gas could help. Gas conservation not only safeguards our environmental resources, it will also keep our almost-empty pockets filled with few silver coins.

There are various ways that one may employ to help alleviate the discomfort that the increase of gas price brings.

The least that one can do is to maximize the gas his or her little amount of money was able to afford. So how does one obtain better gas mileage?

1. Don't consume it at all.

Combining all the little bills that are allotted for your gasoline consumption will may not buy you a new car, but it may be enough to buy you another gallon of gasoline when you need it most. Opting to walk can be a healthier and cheaper way to do it.

2. Check your air filter.

Always make sure that your air filter is in good working condition.
If you need to replace it, don't put it off.
Air filters are not that expensive and replacing them is easy.
It is advisable is that you replace your old air filter at least once a year.

3. Check your oil's quality.

Another important thing that must never be overlooked is the quality of your car's oil. If your car's oil is dirty, your car consumes much more gas since the engine can't run more efficiently as it used to. Oil change is recommended every 3 to 5 thousand miles.

4. Check your tire pressure.

Driving on low pressured tires consumes more gas since it is exerting more effort than a car that has well-pressured tires. Secure a tire gauge for your car maintenance needs. You should always check your tires at least once a week
Also, check the tire alignments regularly because correctly aligned car tires will make the car run much smoother and faster.

5. Check your carburetor.

Your car's carburetor should also be maintained well. It should also be tuned up well to ensure that you don't let your car consume gas excessively.
Vehicles today have fuel injection as a replacement to the carburetor.
It is wise to use a fuel injection cleaner when filling up your tank because it is a lot more convenient to use.

6. Check your exhaust system.

Make sure that your exhaust system has no holes, leaks or weak parts to ensure that you don't lose power because of its bad condition.

Those are just a few of the things that one can easily do to help in conserving gas. Making use of these tips will help you get more miles out of that expensive gallon of gas and all of these things will also make your car safer and last longer for you and your family to use.

You see, it's just a matter of discipline and sheer consciousness regarding your own gas consumption which can give you better gas mileage.

Ball Joints and Your Car's Suspension System

by: Matthew C. Keegan

An important part of your car?s suspension system is its ball joints. Made of extra tough steel, ball joints act as the pivot point between two parts: the suspension and your car?s tires. Ball joints help support your car?s weight and, as is the case with some vehicles, ball joints may be used to help set the alignment. Let?s take a closer look at this key component of your car?s suspension system.

Enclosed in a steel housing, ball joints are used on the front end of almost every car, truck, SUV, and minivan. As might be expected, ball joints are subject to a lot of wear and tear, so to properly protect them ball joints are housed in an enclosed boot to keep dirt away from the joint assembly.

There are two types of suspension systems that use ball joints. The first is a conventional system that uses an upper and lower ball joint. The second is called a MacPherson strut system...

My Neighbor Got A New Car

My Neighbor Got A New Car

by: Al Thomas

I don?t know what kind it is, but I saw it on TV running full speed along the shore (I don?t live near the shore) throwing up spray or maybe it was that one climbing up the steep mountain trail thru the mud, rocks and snow. Very exciting. (I don?t live near the mountains either.) WOW! Just what I need.

But there are a few obstacles.

It costs about $28,000. (That?s close to the average annual wage.) I have perfect credit and they?ll give it to me for no money down. All I have to do is make the monthly payments for the next 5 years of only $541. Maybe it won?t be that much because I?ll be trading in my car and I have it almost paid for it.

I can see me now headed for the beach or climbing that mountain in that shiny new car.

I tell my wife.

She says, ?So?.

I say, ?Waddayamean ?so???

She elaborates that our car is almost paid for and hasn?t a scratch on it. It looks...
