Presently the only things I'm doing to help save/improve my fuel economy is 1. driving highway speeds at least 55 mph and in town to just a couple miles per hour under the posted speed limit of whatever street I'm on, 2. putting in Lucas' Fuel Injector Cleaner with every fill up (which is RARE now-a-days) because I drive a 91 Jeep with the original engine and it's well over 250K in miles so helping to keep the valves, rings, pistons and fuel intake cleaner goes a good way to keeping my engine lasting longer and it does help fuel economy... not much but every little bit/drop counts. 3. Not driving that much unless I have to and adding up all my errands in one run. 4. Car-pooling whenever possible.Save Gas Without Losing Your Shirt: 3 Gas Saving Devices with High Scam Potential

Since the start of the Iraq War in 2003, oil prices have jumped from $28 per barrel to over $130, with most of that rise occurring in the last year. This fact is made even more stark considering that for all of the last century prior to the current meteoric rise, crude oil prices have averaged about $20 per barrel (adjusted for inflation).
Economists and pundits continue to tussle over who or what is to blame for this, and I could hypothesize about how we’re all being taken to the cleaners by corporate greed, but that’d be a waste of energy, no? The important issue is that fuel costs have gone past the “arm-and-a-leg” stage and are now approaching “firstborn son.”
So, while I’d love to say that hydrocarbon fuel prices don’t matter because we’ve entered the hybrid-biofuel- electric-fuel-cell-hydrogen society, the reality is that I need a fix for my old jalopy quick… and what better place to start than a perusal of some of the spectacular deals to be had on the internet?
