Easy way to save 1 to 4 mpg in your car or truck!

Yes, that's right, how would you like an easy idea or way to save an extra 1 to 4 mpg in your car or truck? Well, lets see - 1 to 4 mpg extra may not sound like much, but at todays gas prices its a huge savings and step towards saving at the pump. How is that you might ask? Well, let's say the average vehicle gets 25 mpg. A 1 to 4 mpg savings would calculate to about 4 to over 10% better fuel economy. Let's see, at $4 per gallon 4% equals $.16 and 10% equals $.40. That's per gallon! So, if you follow this one tip you can save at least $.16 to $.40 or more per gallon at every fillup because you will get that much more mileage from your car.

Now, this is where you start to realize the savings - if the average vehicle takes 15 gallons to fill it up then at $.16 per gallon savings you would save (.16 X 15) = $2.40. That is using the lowest numbers of only 1 mpg savings. If you use the slightly higher numbers of $.40 per gallon savings (which is very likely as that is actually just a little over the median figures) you would have (.40 X 15) = $6 per fill up in savings. That's a lot. And it quickly adds up to savings of hundreds of dollars fast. So, now that you can see how this idea works, what is it? Is it some scammy device that applies magnetic power or creates a supposed vortex effect in the air intake? No, these items were all proven as scams by the FTC and EPA.

No, I am not trying to sell you a gas saving device. It's actually really simple - the next time you get your oil changed go with pure synthetic oil (not a synthetic mix as synthetic mixes only contain 10 to 25% synthetic oil and so your results will be much lower - it is a much better deal to use the full synthetics only). Yes, it will probably cost twice the price of a regular oil change, but you will definitely see big results in your fuel economy which will far outweigh the added costs of the synthetic oil. I never really thought much about using anything but the cheapest oil available and discount oil changes, but all that changed when I found out that pure synthetic oil had this big a change in fuel economy across the board on all vehicle types even to include work trucks and service vehicles.

Restored headlights are not only safer, but they look 100% better!

This is not to mention that using full synthetic oil will greatly reduce wear on your key engine components and make your car run better and longer for less money. You can't beat that, now can you? For the complete research on synthetic oil and resultant fuel savings:
