So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Save Yourself Fuel By Not Utilizing Your Car's Air Conditioner

By Brickter Bond


Reducing fuel costs is something many drivers are trying to do, especially with the exorbitant gas prices. You can find several easy ways that gasoline usage can be limited by the average driver. Most of these don't really cost anything, and it is easy to just make a few simple changes while driving to enjoy these benefits.

Never waste your money on unproven products that claim you will get better mileage by using their product. So far, according to the EPA, none of these treatments have been proven to work. Stay away from the gimmicks or expensive products when you are attempting to find ways to get better fuel efficiency. An easy way to reduce fuel, that is only important at certain times, is to leave the air conditioner off. It's very apparent that a car is less powerful and responsive when the air conditioner is running. The engine's performance is influenced by using the air conditioner, and it'll decrease the gas mileage, as well. Only if the inside of your car is totally unbearable, it becomes a good idea to leave the air conditioner off.

It may be somewhat uncomfortable to begin with but you'll be surprised at the amount of fuel you can save. This technique of conserving may be off-putting for many drivers since it is quite comfortable to drive with the air conditioner on. Nevertheless, whenever you think about it, there was a time when no one had air conditioners in their cars. You can be more comfortable driving if you happen to drive during the times of the day when the temperature is cooler. Driving during cooler periods of the day should be doable for most people. You may want to direct your driving during the morning or evening hours.

You can merely drive having the windows rolled down, letting in a nice cool breeze, particularly if you are out on the highway. You can remember the days prior to air conditioners when the breeze was all that kept you cool. It does cost a little bit of fuel consumption when the windows are down as you are driving, but not like what the air conditioner costs. You might have to put up with the heat of the hot months in order to save on your fuel costs. People have gotten so accustomed to the added conveniences put in the automobile, that they don't remember when cars first had radios. Maybe the vast majority of drivers of today, weren't even born then. We're living in a time when things need to be prioritized, and saving money on fuel might be more important than comfort.

It might be frustrating to be driving in intense heat and not think about the end goal. However if you observe that your fuel cost dropping, you'll feel it worth the effort. Utilizing a thing as simple as not turning on the air conditioner will save you money.
