10 Easy Ways to Save Gas, and Our Planet

1) Drive Less

Ride your bike, your skateboard, rollerblades, or walk. It's better for you AND the environment!

2) Avoid Rush Hour

Try to wake up earlier to avoid traffic, or find a route where there is less.

3) Combine Errands

Instead of going out on multiple trips, go out and buy everything you need all at once. It saves you time AND money!

4) Remove Excess Weight

What you have in and on your car affects your gas mileage! The more the car weighs, the worse your mileage can be.

5) Tune-up Your Car

Make sure your car is in good shape, if not you could be using more fuel.

6) Drive Intelligently

Don't accelerate too often, turn off the motor while waiting at stoplights, etc.

7) Carpool/Rideshare

Drive with your friends! The more the merrier, you get to drive in the carpool lane (less traffic,) and saves money as well as the environment.

8) Ride the Bus

It's cheaper, relatively comfortable and environmentally friendly!

9) Use the Terrain

If you´re going downhill don't accelerate, if you're going up hill change to a lower gear so the car works less.

10)  Sell Your Car

If you sell your car, not only will you have more pocket money but you can buy a more environmentally friendly one, or invest in a bicycle.

Is That Change in the Air?: Air Cars

A engine that runs on compressed air in a Air Car. Emissions are only filtered air that's cleaner than outside air. 300 bars of pressure in carbon-fibre & kevlar air tanks. Car can travel at 110 km/hr and has a 150 km driving range. Refilling can be done by plugging in at home or at a special high-pressure air station. Dual-energy models use small amounts of bio-fuels that can extend the range to over 1400 kms.

Pollution free vehicle that produces zero emissions. When the car stops at traffic lights, the engine stops so no energy is lost because there's no idling.

In my opinion is a good thing to reduce the CO2 emissions. It would have support great ideas like this ¡It's  Fantastic!
