Top 5 Green Automotive Gadgets to Help You Save Gas and Save Money

You need a sense of humour with this one!

Looking at the total environmental cost of such gadgets, in the manufacture, transport and installation, I wouldn't rate any as reducing fuel usage until at least 1 month to 3 months into the trial, and the initial environmental cost is paid for with less fuel usage.

I would have thought shanks pony would rate No. 1.
2nd would the odometer, reduce milage, and polution reduces,fuel usage reduces, and I think most car manufacturers already provide one. :o)
3rd would be the speedo, reduce speed by 10%, and economy improves.

Now if you are into gadgets, how about an electronic bus ticket?

Th best way i save fuel is while driving on the highway i stick to 90k/hr insteadof 100 . Just dont get stuck behind me .

Hi All

I reckon the only way to save on fuel is to put less weight on the
Go Pedal, I finally realised that last weekend, on the way up to Teewah Beach I was eager to get up there and relax and do a bit
of fishing ect, so I sat on 100kph on the way there, on the way
home we drove through a Storm and heavy rain and limited
visability, so I sat on 80-90kph, we noticed a difference in fuel
consumption towing the van, so I am a convert, also it only added
and extra half hour to the trip.

Fit all of them and you could get a 60% reduction! Not bad.

Hi guys
My father a retired farmer worked out that in his old landcruiser if he sat on 90km/hr that would be the best fuel consumption he could get.So he made his own cruise control.What he did was put a bolt through the floor just to the right the accel pedal adjusted it so when he had his foot went down on the pedal his foot would touch the bolt and that was 90km/hr,if he wanted to go faster he would just slide his foot to the left press down to gain speed.
So who needs all this electronic stuff.
Unfortantley he is now travelling that great trip in the sky.
I inherited that cruiser and found so many other things that had been bolted, welded etc and a lot of them could not work out what they where for.

i dont understand how we are concerned about greenhouse gasses but still continue to use 15-20% more fuel at 100k's compared to 80k's per hour....

surely if we wound the speed limit back to 80kph we would be safer, much more economical and save lives....
