More Ideas on Gas Saving Techniques

I hope everyone had a happy Father's Day! 

I ran across this article on MSN this weekend.  It shows 10 ways to help with your gas mileage.  It even has a tip in there about squeezing a little extra mileage out of a hybrid, and some links to helping buy your next car.  Anyway, I hope you get something out of this article. 

Top 10 Fuel-Saving Tips:

 Have a great week!

I was finally getting through my comments... I know WAAAY late.  I apologize for taking so long.

In one of them there is a link to a BBC News page that has more ideas on how to save Energy. 

Here is the link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6076658.stm

Here is a list of some of the topics are:

• Don't leave appliances on standby
• Unplug chargers when not in use
• Turn off lights when leaving rooms
• Wash clothes at lower temperatures
• Turn the thermostat down

I would like to hear more ideas on how you can save energy.

Thanks!

An Update

I have been busy with other personal matters, and have been wanting to get back to blogging on here. 

I am still recycling my plastic, glass, cardboard, and plastic bags.  I have it down pretty well, and even my visitors know that I recycle and they co-operate well.  I have not found anyplace to take my electronics.  The only places I have found are ones that havea limit on how many items you can bring, and sometimes they charge a fee to bring things in.  I have not had any luck finding any place that fits my needs.

I am still driving my truck conservatively, and driving the motorcycle when it is nice enough outside.

I am putting up a link to another site that also has some good ideas to help conserve energy.
