$100 fill-up coming to pump near you
$100 fill-up coming to pump near you, By Terry Jackson • Bankrate.com
With speculators running up the price of a barrel of oil to the $100 range, there can be little doubt that the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline is headed for $3.50, and maybe even $4, before there's any sort of fallback.
While such price hikes will increase the pressure on new vehicle buyers to look for more fuel-efficient vehicles, there's a real sticker shock awaiting those who need or want a big sport utility vehicle or pickup truck.
Those vehicles are among the thirstiest gas-guzzlers, delivering an average of 14 to16 miles per gallon in combined city-highway driving if a driver is judicious with the gas pedal.
The real shock for drivers of these automobiles will come when the tank approaches empty and it's time to fill up. Because they burn a lot of fuel, these vehicles have larger gas tanks, which can mean that the final total on the gas pump can be frightening.
How frightening? How about $100 per fill-up?
At $3.50 a gallon, getting change from a Ben Franklin is not likely to happen very often. And on some vehicles, it will cost more than $100 to fill up. Here's a list of some of the biggest budget busters on the market, including tank size and how much it costs to fill an empty tank at $3.50 a gallon.
Make and model,--- Tank Size,--- Cost
Chrysler Aspen SUV ---27 gal ---$94.50
Ford Expedition SUV--- 28 gal ---98.00
Infiniti QX56 SUV -----28 gal ----98.00
Cadillac Escalade ESV SUV-- 31 gal-- 108.50
Chevrolet Suburban SUV ---31 gal ---108.50
Chevrolet Avalanche SUV --31 gal ---108.50
Hummer H2 SUV ----------32 gal ---112.00
Ford Expedition EL SUV ---33.5 gal-- 117.25
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD pickup ---34 gal ---119.00
Dodge Ram 2500 pickup ---35 gal ----122.50
Nissan Titan pickup-------- 37 gal -----129.50
Ford F250 Super Duty pickup ---38 gal ---133.00
Of course, as the price of gasoline rises, owners of more economical vehicles like the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry will also get wallet shock. Both cars come with 18.5-gallon gas tanks that would cost $64.75 for a fill-up.
We all need to drive, and while the ultimate measure of economy is the number of miles that can be squeezed from a gallon of fuel, it's worth considering what you're likely to be spending when that tank runs dry and to factor it into your budget.

No Winter Relief at the Pump
How much can we tolerate?
With crude-oil prices hovering near $100 per barrel, gas prices have some catching up to do. In fact, you might see a 10 to 15 cent per gallon increase at your local gas station over the weekend.
"Prices are going to move higher," says Geoff Sundstrom, a spokesman for AAA.Here's why: Back in May, when crude-oil prices were around $75 per barrel, the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline peaked at $3.227 per gallon, according to the automobile association.
Crude oil surged to more than $98 per barrel earlier this week, before closing at $95.46 Thursday, but the national average gas price is just $3.061 per gallon.That big of a spike in oil prices -- an increase of more than 25% since May -- is bound to raise gasoline prices. The question is, by how much? And for how long? The price of a gallon of gasoline typically drops 20 to 50 cents per gallon from summer to fall. Last year, gasoline prices dropped 80 cents per gallon between August and Halloween.
No winter relief at the pump.
But this year, the autumn drop-off hasn't happened. In fact, if crude oil remains near the $100-per-barrel mark, we may see the national average gasoline price surpass the summer peak price of $3.227 by Christmas, according to AAA's Sundstrom.
"Based on crude-oil prices of nearly $100 a barrel, it's feasible we would set a new record high between now and Christmas, at least $3.23," Sundstrom says. And if oil prices are hovering near the $100-per-barrel mark by next spring, get ready for more record-breaking gasoline prices in time for the peak summer driving season."It's very possible that we'll see gasoline cost $3.50 per gallon on a national-average basis," Sundstrom says. "Some places, particularly the West Coast, may get up to $4 per gallon." Already, drivers are reporting $5 premium near remote Big Sur in California.
This is the first November that the average national price for regular has passed the $3 mark, which means filling up over Thanksgiving will be expensive. You'll see the effects of $100 oil in smaller ways, too.
Airlines use futures contracts to lock in the price of jet fuel, but they still are feeling the pinch, raising fares in recent weeks in $10 and $20 increments. Carnival Cruise Lines announced Thursday that it would add $5 a day to guests' bills as a fuel surcharge. Already, United Parcel Service maps its routes so that drivers don't waste fuel waiting to make left turns, and you'll see shipping charges rise across the board. And it'll hurt on NFL Sundays as well. Pizza chain Hungry Howie's is asking customers to pick up their pies or pay a delivery charge of up to $4.

By Tom Doggett
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. drivers would pay a 50-cent tax on each gallon of gasoline they pump to encourage less fuel use and cut greenhouse gas emissions, under draft legislation to fight global warming released on Thursday.
"In order or reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make the planet safe and healthy for future generations it will take a significant investment from all of us," said Rep. John Dingell, the powerful chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee." A fee on carbon emissions requires a tithe from all citizens and industries, but no one entity will be unfairly leveled with a devastating burden," Dingell said about his climate change proposal.
The fuel tax, which would also be tacked onto a gallon of jet fuel, would be phased in over 5 years and then adjusted for inflation.Diesel fuel, which produces 20 percent fewer emissions than gasoline, would be exempt from the tax, as would biofuels that do not contain petroleum.
Before introducing a formal bill, Dingell said he is seeking feedback from the public and other interested parties on his current proposal.
There would also be a $50 tax on each ton of carbon produced from coal, petroleum and natural gas. This would also be phased in over 5 years and adjusted for inflation. The money from the gasoline tax would go into the federal highway trust fund to pay for roads and mass transit. The jet fuel tax would be used to improve airports.
Dingell's proposal would also phase out the mortgage interest deduction from taxable income on loans for large houses over 3,000 square feet and eliminate the tax benefit for homes over 4,200 square feet. Dingell said while new bigger homes are more energy efficient than smaller ones built years ago, the so-called "McMansions" are usually located in the suburbs, requiring longer commutes that lead to dramatically more energy use.
To help lower-income families offset the higher tax on fuels, the federal earned income tax credit would be expanded to allow people to make more money before they are no longer eligible for the benefit. Dingell's proposal was released as the Bush administration opened a two-day conference that brought together representatives from the world's biggest emitters to discuss ways to fight global warming.

Supreme Court Rules
Supreme Court Rules 4-2-07: EPA must regulate emissions of greenhouse gases. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court said today that the Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from cars. The EPA must now regulate emissions from cars and compel the auto industry to make more fuel efficient cars.
Save On Your Gasoline Bill
Finally a way to: Save 7% - 19% on your vehicle Fuel Bill and Reduce your vehicle Emissions an average of 30%
With gas and diesel prices climbing: Ethos Environmental, Inc. has a solution. Results may vary depending on climate, road conditions and driving habits.Ethos Fuel Reformulator made by Ethos Environmental, Inc. Ethos F. R. was developed to help the environment by reducing Green house emissions coming from internal combustion engines. Yet Ethos F.R. is non – toxic and non – hazardous and burns 99% ash free. Ethos F.R. cleans and lubricates the internal parts of the engine without the use of petroleum-derived solvents commonly found in fuel additives.
Treatment instructions for gas and diesel engines state to initially use 2 to 5 oz. per 10 gallons in the first tank full to speed – up the cleaning process and 1oz. per quart of oil in the crankcase. There after, use just 1oz. per 10 gallons of fuel and 1oz. per quart of oil in the crankcase at oil changes. When Ethos F.R. is added to the fuel tank, the fuel combusts more efficiently thus reducing the emissions coming out of the exhaust pipe.
Ethos F.R. is to be marketed by the distributors of Ethos For Earth thru their international network. Wholesale distributorship inquiries are welcome.Complete details at: www.4planetearth.com/reducefuelcost.

Allied Waste Services Saves Big Money with Ethos
Allied Waste Services
Allied Waste Services (a publicly traded company) is the second largest waste management company in the U.S. and currently burns about a million gallons of fuel per day. They have been customers of the Ethos FR™ Product for over 6 years and in that time they have realized fuel savings of over $1.2 Million annually.
Does Ethos FR™ Really Work - Ask Allied Waste!
"This is the very most important question to ask, for if it doesn't, nothing else matters". Jerry Schnitzius, General Manager of the San Diego area operation of Allied Waste Services came to the meeting and told us of his company's experience with Ethos FR™.
Being a trained mechanic, he said there is no such thing as "a miracle in a can," and it wasn't until Enrique De Vilmorin's 7th visit that he consented to allow Enrique to put some of that stuff in one of his trucks.
And when he finally did, we made him put it in an old truck that was about ready to go to the junkyard. Ethos FR immediately reduced the opacity (blackness of exhaust smoke) from 80 to 20.
Opacity is one of the most important tests on diesel engines in California. Still not convinced, they tested it on more trucks for six months before giving the go ahead to put it in all trucks within Jerry's operations.
Since 2000, the average opacity for the entire fleet is approximately 10.
The employees now use Ethos in their personal vehicles and Jerry said, "If it doesn't work, it's because you don't use it." They put Ethos FR™ in the fuel, and crankcases of all their trucks.
The decision has been made to use Ethos FR™ by Allied in Texas and soon across the nation by all Allied operations.
Allied Waste Services the second largest waste management company in the U.S. is currently burning about a million gallons of fuel per day.
Do you honestly believe they would continue spending millions of dollars per year for a product that doesn't work?"

Common Sense but not to be Overlooked
Here is what Mudock from future-fuels-and-vehicles@yahoogroups.com suggest:
What about these (somewhat trivial-seeming, or obvious-seeming, butjust asking):
1. Be mindful of the weight of fuel. Gasoline apparently weighs abit more than 6 pounds per gallon. Try not to drive around with afull tank all the time, nor drive too far out of your way to arefueling station, keeping in mind the fuel expenditure to get thereand back. Over the life of the vehicle, driving around with asomewhat lower average amount of fuel and reducing fuel expenditurededicated solely to refueling might (I think) reduce fuel use a tad.
2. Be mindful of the weight of other items in your vehicle. Keepessential items on-board, but stay on top of the issue of not carryingaround items that are non-essential. Yes, it may be a pain to clearout those golf clubs, workout items articles of clothing or otherthings that may pile up a bit, but lightening is such an importantpart of saving energy in cars, that it might help just a silght amountto recuce that vehicle weight by 5, 10, 15 pounds, on average, forthose who might tend to keep a few things handy in the vehicle thatdon't really need to be there.
3. Vehicle should be in good operating order. This may seem like ano-brainer for someone like Ernie or a car-repair-knowledgeableperson, but is definitely a challenge to diagnose and address forsomeone like me.
I had a tuneup a couple of years ago, and was a bittired of being bullied into expensive non-essential car maintenance bymechanics who are more sales-oriented than perhaps they should be.They can convince someone like me that some maintenance is moreimpotant than it is. I let my car go far too long and when it gavesymptoms of decreased mileage and poor acceleration, I didn't realizethat another tuneup (or perhaps an addressing of the previous tuneup?)was overdue.
A seemingly-somewhat-better mechanic seemed to set mestraight, did quite a bit of work on spark plugs, fuel filters, etc.,and my mileage seemed to return to normal, about 10% above where its sluggishness had taken it.
Thanks to Mudock for these suggestions.

Ecuador Contracts with Ethos Environmental, Inc.
Ethos Environmental, Inc. Exclusive Deal to Supply Ecuador's State-Owned Oil Company PetroEcuadorWednesday December 20, 2006 9:00 am ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 20, 2006 -- Enrique de Vilmorin, CEO of the publicly traded San Diego-based company Ethos Environmental, Inc. (OTC BB:ETEV.OB - News) a manufacturer and distributor of a unique line of fuel reformulating products, announced today that the company has received product certification for their Ethos Fuel Reformulator (Ethos FR®) from the state-owned oil company of Ecuador, PetroEcuador.
This will enable Ethos to be the exclusive worldwide supplier for PetroEcuador and its affiliate companies.
The ensuing testing protocol applied EthosFR® in various public bus companies in Quito, Ecuador's capital city and Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city for a period of twelve months. The results showed a significant reduction in toxic emissions, a measurable reduction in fuel usage, as well as increased engine efficiency in all treated vehicles.
In the final step of the certification process, the product was tested in the refinery laboratory of Petroecuador's affiliated company, Petroindustrial, located in the Esmeraldas refining complex. After chemical and usage testing for more than three months, the lab concluded that EthosFR® reduces atmospheric contaminating gases, increases engine efficiencies and is important in the reduction of fuel usage.
Mr. de Vilmorin commented, "As well as contributing in the fight against global warming, Ethos Environmental, Inc. expects to generate sales of more than $40 million annually from this agreement, increasing to more than $60 million by the end of 2007."
A country rich in agricultural and industrial attributes, Ecuador is a substantial exporter in the world market. As a constantly developing country, Ecuador has focused on environmental issues and has taken measures to maintain the quality of living throughout the nation. The Ecuadorian government has adhered to the idea of environmental preservation through their continued support of groups such as the Charles Darwin Foundation and The Jacques-Yves Cousteau Society in the Galapagos Islands. A self-declared humanitarian, President-elect Rafael Correa has taken a stand in favor of environmental development and has been supportive of plans dedicated to improving the unique characteristics of Ecuador.

Reduce Your Fuel Cost
Gas Prices Driving You CRAZY?
According to the web site, www1.eere.energy.gov/consumer/tips, transportation accounts for 66% of all U.S. oil consumption. “With gas prices predicted to reach $4.00 per gallon, it’s becoming a significant percentage of the household budget, as well. However, there are ways to fight back, without having to break out the old bicycle (which is a good idea anyway).
You can make a few small changes in your driving habits that will add up to real savings.
1) Drive less aggressively. Accelerating from stops like a Jack Rabbit, braking hard, and speeding can lower your highway gas mileage 33 percent and city mileage 5percent. That equates to 16 cents to $1.06/gallon in savings. You can drop your price for gas up to a dollar per gallon just by driving more sensibly.
2) Slow down. Gas mileage drops rapidly above 60 mph. Although optimal fuel economy is different for each vehicle, as a rule of thumb, each 5 mph you drive above 60mph is equivalent to paying an additional 20 cents per gallon of gas. That means driving 75 mph on our highways cost you an extra 60 cents per gallon.
3) Keep your tires properly inflated and aligned (improves mileage 3.3 percent).
4) Service your car regularly to keep it performing optimally.
5) Replace dirty or clogged air filters (improves mileage as much as 10 percent).
6) Clear items from your car and trunk that add extra weight.
7) Reduce drag by removing roof racks and car-top carriers.
8) Consolidate trips and errands.
9) Carpool and share rides.”
Another way to save money and gas mileage is to use a good fuel reformulator.
A good fuel reformulator such as Ethos F.R. will not only clean the inside of your engine, substantially reduce exhaust emissions, clean spark plugs and injectors, but will also increase your gas mileage an average 7 to 19 percent.
Ethos F.R. has been in use by our military, large commercial fleets, and several governments for the last 7 – 10 years.
I personally have used Ethos F.R. for just over a year, and it works for me.For more info on Ethos F.R. go to: http:www.4planetearth.net/reducefuelcost.

Ethos F.R. has been in use by our military, large commercial fleets, and several governments for the last 7 – 10 years.
I personally have used Ethos F.R. for just over a year, and it works for me.For more info on Ethos F.R. go to: http:www.4planetearth.net/reducefuelcost.

Alternative Fuels
Alternative Fuels:
E85 and Flex Fuel Vehicles
Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from plants. Essentially non-drinkable grain alcohol, ethanol is produced by fermenting plant sugars. It can be made from corn, sugar cane, and other starchy agricultural product. The cellulose in agricultural wastes such as waste woods and corn stalks (also know as "cellulosic
ethanol") can also be used as a base. In the United States, most ethanol is currently made from corn, although because of rapidly developing research, cellulosic ethanol may soon become a larger part of the market.
E85 Fuel
While pure ethanol is rarely used for transportation fuel, there are several ethanol-gasoline blends in use today. E85 is a blend of 85 percent denatured ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. In certain areas, higher percentages of gasoline will be added to E-85 during the winter to ensure that vehicles are able to start at very cold temperatures.
E85 cannot be used in a conventional, gasoline-only engine. Vehicles must be specially designed to run on it.
The only vehicles currently available to U.S. drivers are known as flex fuel vehicles (FFVs), because they can run on E85, gasoline, or any blend of the two. Much like diesel fuel, E85 is available at specially-marked fueling pumps. Today, nearly 700 fueling stations offer it.
Another common mix is E10, a blend of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline. E10 is available in many areas across the United States and can be used in any gasoline vehicle manufactured after 1980.
Flex Fuel Vehicles
Ethanol-fueled vehicles date back to the 1880s when Henry Ford designed a car that ran solely on ethanol. He later built the first flex fuel vehicle: a 1908 Model T designed to operate on either ethanol or gasoline.
Today's FFVs feature specially-designed fuel systems and other components that allow a vehicle to operate on a mixture of gasoline and ethanol that can vary from 0 percent to 85 percent ethanol. These cars and trucks have the same power, acceleration, payload, and cruise speed as conventionally fueled vehicles. Maintenance for ethanol-fueled vehicles is very similar to that of regular cars and trucks. However, owners should identify the car as an FFV when ordering replacement parts.
Today, the United States has more than 6 million FFVs on the road. These vehicles are available in a range of models, including sedans, pick-up trucks, and minivans. Additionally, several auto manufacturers have announced plans to greatly expand the number of FFV models they will offer. In fact, you may even be driving one now. To find out, check the inside of your gas tank door for an identification sticker.
Affordability
FFVs are priced the same as gasoline-only vehicles, offering drivers the opportunity to buy an E85 capable vehicle at no additional cost.
In general, E85 reduces fuel economy and range by about 20-30 percent, meaning an FFV will travel fewer miles on a tank of E85 than on a tank of gasoline. This is because ethanol contains less energy than gasoline. Vehicles can be designed to be optimized for E85--which would reduce or eliminate this tendency. However, no such vehicles are currently on the market. The pump price for E85 is often lower than regular gasoline; however, prices vary depending on supply and market conditions.
E85 & Conventional Vehicles
Consumers should never use E85 in a conventional, gasoline-only vehicle. This can lead to a range of problems, including not being able to start the engine, damage to engine components, illumination of the check engine light, and emissions increases.
It is technically possible to convert a conventional gasoline vehicle to run on E85; however, such conversions would likely be illegal unless they are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To date, EPA has not certified any E85 conversions. In addition, converting a conventional vehicle to E85 may violate the terms of the vehicle warranty. For more information on the vehicle conversion process, please visit EPA's Web site at:
www.epa.gov/otaq/cert/dearmfr/cisd0602.pdf
Benefits
Much of the increased interest in ethanol as a vehicle fuel is due to its ability to replace gasoline from imported oil. The United States is currently the world's largest ethanol producer, and most of the ethanol we use is produced domestically from corn grown by American farmers.
E85 also provides important reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. When made from corn, E85 reduces lifecycle GHG emissions (which include the energy required to grow and process corn into ethanol) by 15-20% as compared to gasoline. E85 made from cellulose can reduce emissions by around 70 percent as compared to gasoline.
EPA's stringent Tier II vehicle emission standards require that FFVs achieve the same low emissions level regardless of whether E85 or gasoline is used. However, E85 can further reduce emissions of certain pollutants as compared to conventional gasoline or lower volume ethanol blends. For example, E85 is less volatile than gasoline or low volume ethanol blends, which results in fewer evaporative emissions. Using E85 also reduces carbon monoxide emissions and provides significant reductions in emissions of many harmful toxics, including benzene, a known human carcinogen. However, E85 also increases emissions of acetaldehyde--a toxic pollutant. EPA is conducting additional analysis to expand our understanding of the emissions impacts of E85.

EPA Fuel Economy Label What to Look For!!
Fuel Economy Label
In December 2006, EPA issued new test methods to determine the fuel economy estimates (city and highway) that appear on the window stickers of all new cars and light trucks sold in the U.S., beginning with 2008 models.
For more information about the new methods, see EPA's Final Rule.
This page describes the revised fuel economy label that appears on window stickers starting in September 2008 and provides the basic fuel economy estimates. For comparison, you can see the previous fuel economy label for cars and light trucks sold before model year 2008.
New Fuel Economy Label
Get a copy of the new fuel economy label for printing or downloading.
The new, improved features of the label are listed below:
1. New Methods: The label shows the estimated city MPG at the top left, and highway MPG at the top right. The estimates on 2008 and later models are determined using new, more realistic methods. During the transition year, comparison shoppers should compare models that are built in the same model year, so compare 2007 models to 2007 models, etc.
2. Estimated Annual Fuel Costs: The center of the label provides estimated annual fuel costs based on a given number of miles and fuel price, also listed on the label. Use this information to estimate fuel costs for this vehicle, and to compare fuel costs across different models.
3. Expected City Range: Estimated city MPG range appears at the top left, under the main city MPG estimated number. Most drivers can expect to achieve city fuel economy within this range.
4. Expected Highway Range: Estimated highway MPG range appears at the top right, under the main highway MPG estimated number. Most drivers can expect to achieve highway fuel economy within this range.
5. Compare to Other Vehicles: The lower center of the label gives a combined city/highway estimate for that vehicle, and shows where that value falls on a bar scale that gives the highest and lowest fuel economy of all other vehicles in its class (e.g. SUVs, minivans, compact cars, etc). Use this information to compare the fuel economy of this vehicle to all others within its class.
6. Your actual mileage will vary: The label includes a reminder that there are many reasons why your actual fuel economy may vary from the estimates.
See www.fueleconomy.gov for fuel-saving tips.
7. For more information: The label provides a Web address where you can find out more information.
See the FREE Fuel Economy Guide at dealers or online at www.fueleconomy.gov.

New Fuel Economy Stickers From the EPA
New Fuel Economy Stickers to Help Consumers Make More Informed Decisions
Release date: 09/05/2007
Contact Information: John Millett, (202) 564-4355 / millett.john@epa.gov
(Washington, D.C. - Sept. 5, 2007)
To more clearly and fully convey fuel economy information to consumers, all new cars, light trucks, and SUVs produced after Sept. 1, 2007 will feature a newly re-designed window sticker.
The new label will allow consumers to make more informed decisions by including the estimated annual cost for fueling the vehicle, how the vehicle's fuel economy compares to others within its class, and a Web site to go to for more information.
"EPA's updated fuel economy estimates will help Americans avoid sticker shock when filling up at the pump," said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson. "By considering fuel use when shopping for new cars and trucks, consumers are in the driver's seat to save money and protect our environment." The changes coincide with the adoption of new methods to determine the miles per gallon (MPG) estimates that appear on the stickers.
The new methods, which took effect for model year 2008 vehicles, will bring MPG estimates closer to a vehicles actual fuel use by including factors such as driving at high speeds, accelerating aggressively, air conditioning use and driving in cold temperatures.
"From AAA's perspective, it is about a simple truth: consumers want to know that the information they see on a government-sanctioned label reasonably reflects what they will experience on the road," said Robert Darbelnet, president and CEO of AAA, which has more than 50 million members. "We believe that the new EPA labeling system will provide motorists a more realistic idea of their fuel performance. This is clearly a step in the right direction.
"Taking EPA's fuel economy information into account when shopping for a vehicle can help consumers save money, as well as cut down on air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Clean your Headlights with Tooth Paste!!
Thanks to The Schmutz Brothers for the following solution to dingy headlight lenses.
Tags: Auto headlights
Tags: Auto headlights
Have you noticed how yellow and grimy your headlights have gotten?
The solution is very inexpensive.
I've been selling headlights on e-Bay for awhile and have found that even the yellowest of headlights come clean with this simple procedure.
Ready?
First go to your local discount store and get the least expensive whitening toothpaste. These toothpastes have a tendency to be abrasive and will remove even the nastiest road filth.
Next get a soft DRY cloth and apply a generous amount to the glass or plastic.
Gently rub it on, let the paste do its work, then rub it off . If it is stubborn you can finish up with a damp cloth and mild spray cleaner.
That's it! Dry and you are done.
It kind of works like polishing compound.
You'll improve the looks of your car and you could improve night driving as well.
One tube of toothpaste can clean about 8 to 10 headlights.

Bavarian Motors
Joe Jacobsen - an Owner and CFO of Bavarian Motors that operate over 300 18 wheelers and use EthosFR in their entire fleet. They are realizing an 8-10 % fuel savings with EthosFR which translates to $1.8 million a year and when you deduct the cost of EthoFR they purchase ($500,000) their NET savings is a whopping $1.3 million over a year. Here is a company that is sold on EthosFR, it works!
Of the many benefits they are enjoying through the use of EthosFR such as the fuel savings and better performance from their trucks, they have found that their drivers are able to breathe easier around their trucks ever since they started using EthosFR due to the reduced emissions. Since they load and unload cars in their business, the trucks idle 46% of the time and the drivers are exposed to the exhaust fumes while they work. Now that they can breathe easier there are potential health care savings for the company as the drivers are exposed to less of the harmful exhaust fumes. What a great benefit of EthosFR - improving the health of these drivers.
Like Allied Waste, Bavarian Motors is yet another great example of how EthosFR is having a positive impact on the operation and the bottom line of a company. On an individual level everyone can realize these same benefits so do spread the good word of EthosFR!

Gas Prices Driving You Crazy?
Gas Prices Driving You CRAZY?
According to the web site, www1.eere.energy.gov/consumer/tips, transportation accounts for 66% of all U.S. oil consumption. “With gas prices predicted to reach $4.00 per gallon, it’s becoming a significant percentage of the household budget, as well. However, there are ways to fight back, without having to break out the old bicycle (which is a good idea anyway). You can make a few small changes in your driving habits that will add up to real savings.
1) Drive less aggressively. Accelerating from stops like a Jack Rabbit, braking hard, and speeding can lower your highway gas mileage 33 percent and city mileage 5percent. That equates to 16 cents to $1.06/gallon in savings. You can drop your price for gas up to a dollar per gallon just by driving more sensibly.
2) Slow down. Gas mileage drops rapidly above 60 mph. Although optimal fuel economy is different for each vehicle, as a rule of thumb, each 5 mph you drive above 60mph is equivalent to paying an additional 20 cents per gallon of gas. That means driving 75 mph on our highways cost you an extra 60 cents per gallon.
3) Keep your tires properly inflated and aligned (improves mileage 3.3 percent).
4) Service your car regularly to keep it performing optimally.
5) Replace dirty or clogged air filters (improves mileage as much as 10 percent).
6) Clear items from your car and trunk that add extra weight
7) Reduce drag by removing roof racks and car-top carriers.
8) Consolidate trips and errands
9) Carpool and share rides”
Another way to save money and gas mileage is to use a good fuel reformulator. A good fuel reformulator such as Ethos F.R. will not only clean the inside of your engine, substantially reduce exhaust emissions, clean spark plugs and injectors, but will also increase your gas mileage an average 7 to 19 percent.
Ethos F.R. has been in use by our military, large commercial fleets, and several governments for the last 7 – 10 years. I personally have used Ethos F.R. for just over a year, and it works for me.
