Cool Fuel Economy Blog!

Here it is, Fuel Economy Tip of the Day!

Check it out, lots of content and tips on how to up your gas mileage! Good on dailyfueleconomytip.com

Add 10% to your gas mileage!

I did! Today, on my weekly trek to Tuscon, AZ for work I decided to try and drive in between 65 and 70 mph. I have been making the trip there for years doing 75-85 and always get 20 per gallon or less. So I wanted to see if slowing down helped my mileage and it did! By slowing down I dropped the RPM's of my 4runner thus running the engine at a lower speed and thus saving gas and $$$$. By the return of my trip I had 226.3 miles and used exactly 10 gallons of gas. I will try this again next week to time it exactly to see what the time difference is by actually slowing down.

Try it! Slow down 10 mph. Save the planet!

Here's some more tips to help improve your fuel efficency.
Thanks

Strawberries are Poppin' Up!




Here's some pics of some strawberries popping out in bobs big green garden. I can't wait! Strawberries are some of the most expensive and necessary and tasty organic fruits out there. So it is in high priority that I grow these. I have three plants, one in each of my gardens, and each is starting to pop some berries out. I hope I get at least a good pound, maybe more! mmm...strawberry shortcake:)

freecycle.com

I've heard a little bit about this site and I am excited to use it. What a great way to reuse the stuff you don't want any more.

Welcome to the Green Roll and my daily habits!

I love my garden!


Here's a pic my friend Chrissie took while she was visiting from the great white north, Chicago. She was amazed at how much could be grown in a little space. Last night we made a salad with Romain Lettuce from the garden and we had enough to feed 6 adults with leftovers! All from $2.99 plants from Home Depot. So far it has provided 5 times the amount of lettuce for what I paid. I love free veggies and I love my garden! Have a great day!
