What does your car’s gas mileage have in common with the belt size around your waist?
At first glance probably nothing but it might be everything.
I guess one could consider that a economy-sized person has to have a big auto and a big car scores less fuel performance but that is not where I am headed.
There are effective tips out there to improve fuel performance
It’s not hard.
The way that cars are designed they could hardly do worse.
FACT: The average MPG has decreased 40% since 1908!
FACT 2: The average car only burns efficiently about 20% of the gas that you fill it with.
So there is a lot of room for better performance.
But if you are driving your car into the ground then nothing you do will improve fuel performance very much no matter what you do.
And if you are driving your car into the ground you are most likely doing the same to your body. A person who neglects maintenance of their car probably consumes junk food, drinks beer for breakfast, etc.
It is proportional… there are gradient scales. But what can be predicted with good certainty is that folks in bad physical condition also have cars that should be in a junkyard instead of on the road with you.
I speak in broad strokes here but there is a point I am making.
I am talking about responsibility and caring.
Caring what food you eat, whether you exercise your body or are a couch potato, whether you get checkups, take supplements, etc. is all about taking care of your body.
Also, caring whether you keep your fluids in your car topped up, keep the car clean or kludgey, change your oil and do a tuneup routinely, keep the pressure of tires to manufacturer standards and so forth. Being responsible for and caring about the general condition of your car so that it performs optimally in all ways is a pivotal factor in whether or not you benefit from GST’s (Gas Saving Techniques)
Life is usually hard for folks who don’t have their basic personal ethics in. And the car owned by such a person will not get good results.
If you are taking good care of yourself and your car then I applaud you. You are not a beast. There may even be hope for you yet! And now your reward… I can show you how to improve fuel performance by 50% or more by switching to a hydrogen hybrid or how to eliminate the car’s need for gas at all by doing a full conversion to a hydrogen powered car.
