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 Money On Gas With A Hybrid - If You Can Find One!

By Carole Ashley


The drastic increases in gas costs have made hybrids trendy cars for the right reasons. Not only do these vehicles save gas, but they're stylish cars from major manufacturers that you know and trust.

Improving fuel economy is one of the things central to a hybrid's design. The engine is smaller and lighter than that of a conventional engine so hybrids requires less fuel to accelerate, idle or move up inclines. There are also hybrid cars that use an electric motor or backup battery if you need an additional boost of power on the road. This backup allows the hybrid car to negotiate through traffic with a conventional engine setup.

To reward buyers for choose hybrid vehicles, the US Government awards tax credit. You can get a tax credit ranging anywhere from $400 $3,000, depending on the hybrid car you buy, as calculated by the government's charts. These government charts include data on hybrid vehicles' fuel economy, the type of vehicle and the weight of the vehicle, thus determining how much of a credit you would receive. Generally speaking, a larger tax credit would result if a hybrid vehicle performs well in the fuel economy tests. Not only do you save money by buying the hybrid, you also save by owning it.

One of the hottest new hybrids is what is called a water conversion car. This is a hybrid car that runs on both water and gas. While gas is the primary fuel, the water is used in a vaporization process to increase fuel efficiency. That means more miles per gallon, which reduces gas consumption, which saves money. Notice the sly grin on hybrid drivers' faces as they gas up while watching you cringe at gas prices while filling up your old car.

Even if you're still willing to stick it out with your old car, there are things you can gain from hybrid technology. It's possible to get a water energy conversion kit attached to many vehicles. If you're a good weekend mechanic, then you might do it yourself. But you're safer having it installed by a mechanic who also knows how to interface this conversion kit with the electrical and computer control systems of your car. Unless it's accurately installed, you won't get the full benefit of water conversion and you might compromise another system in your car. You can purchase a hydrogen conversion kit for only a few hundred dollars, or in the thousands if buying a reputable brand.

Mechanics will charge a fee to install the system - ask them about this before getting one to help you out. You can also check with your dealer for available conversions options. Since a lot of car brands have hybrid versions of their popular models, they may also come with conversion kits, information that your dealer can conveniently supply to you.

You may spend more, but at least you can be confident of the mechanics knowing what to do. This is an environmentally safe way to drive that can also save you a lot of money on fuel.

Take care of these two ends - saving the earth with safe emissions and saving gas money and gas in itself - by buying a new hybrid car or getting a hydrogen conversion system installed in your old one, if possible.
