The Many Pay Offs And Benefits To You From Having A Good Auto Fuel Economy
Copyright (c) 2008 Benji O. Anosike
Get Auto Fuel Savings Org
http://www.GetAutoFuelSavings.Org



Judging by several public opinion polls and surveys periodically
conducted among motorists and consumers by reliable national
polling organizations, automobile gas costs and prices have been
at the very top of the consumer concerns in Canada and the United
States in recent years. Clearly, high and escalating cost of fuel
are a great source of worry and concern by the consumers in these
countries, and most consumers would love nothing better than to
have them in the lower range today, as in the yester years.

In deed, just about everybody and every institution in the
society, including the government of the day, frequently tell us
that having lower prices and costs for fuel would be just about
the most desirable and beneficial thing for the society and for
almost everybody - economically, politically, and militarily.
Just recently, only in December 2007, the U.S. Congress enacted,
and President Bush signed into law, the "Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007," designed to tackle precisely that very
same concern - reducing the average driver's demand and usage of
fuel by requiring that the driver meet a fuel economy standard of
35 MPG (miles per gallon) by the year 2020. That will mean an
increase of 40 percent in fuel economy over current situation,
literally meaning a savings of some 40 percent in the fuel costs
of the average driver compared to today.

Fine. But does everybody, do most motorists, know the reason why,
exactly, it is really good and beneficial that the average
motorist or consumer should have good fuel economy in his or her
driving, any way - aside from just the obvious economic reason or
benefit that it would save you fuel and put more money in your
pocket?

Following below, are some of the most significant reasons and
benefits, aside from simply the personal economic or financial
benefit accruing to the individual motorist, why it will still
pay you, any way, to have a life of good fuel economy any way,
regardless.

A. SURE, IT IS (IN PART) ABOUT MONEY

First, to be sure, a prime reason why American and Canadian
motorists seek fuel economy for their vehicle rides, has to do
significantly or largely with money — to save money in their fuel
costs. At a time when gas prices are near record highs in America
and Canada, it is, rather quite understandable that many people
would be searching for ways to "beat the pump" to make gas
money go a little bit longer.

Recent news reports saturate the newspapers and the news media
and airways daily, with stories about the economic woes and
horrors of motorists "at the pump" who face escalating gas
prices. American drivers, from Los Angeles, California, to New
York, and from Michigan to Florida, and in between, who were
formerly used to spending about $30 a week to fill up a 15-gallon
tank a year or two ago, are today now said to be spending some
$50 or more, thus cutting painfully deeper and deeper into their
already overstretched home budgets. While in Canada, from Ottawa
and Newfoundland to British Columbia, and from Nunavuit to
Mannitoba Winnipeg, the pump prices for the motorists have
reached as high as Canadian $1.25 per litre (the equivalent of
about $5 a gallon for the U.S.) only recently.

Clearly, then, the simple logic and commonsense is quite
understandable that one major reason why the contemporary
American and Canadian motorists would want — and do want — to
find ways to have a higher or better fuel economy, is for
economic reasons: namely, to make some real savings in the
hopefully lesser amount of fuel they use in the operation of
their vehicles, as well as in the escalating and increasingly
crushing prices and costs of fuel. A money savings of up to
$1,500 per year in fuel costs could be a major reward you get,
for example, by choosing to purchase the latest most efficient
vehicle of the year in a particular class, according to the
latest U.S. EPA/DOE estimate! Not a small (money) saving by any
means or calculations whatsoever!

However, there are more reasons and benefits. It is more than
just that.

B. IT'S MORE THAN JUST SAVING MONEY, THOUGH

1. Strengthens the National Energy Security

But seeking to attain, or actually attaining, fuel economy and
fuel savings, are NOT all about or only about money, however. Or,
about personal money savings that go back into one's own
personal pocket. Rather, attaining that goal achieves an even
higher "reward" and purpose — a national, patriotic, and more
"strategic" purpose for America and/or Canada. In deed, for the
Mother Earth!

How? Simply by making it more feasible for us to start the
process of climbing out of one big, dangerous, and increasingly
entrenched, critical national security problem that North America
has today — it's called the problem of "American dependence on
foreign oil." For example, by recent estimates of the Washington
Post, the U.S. citizens use 24 % more gas today than they did
some 17 years ago in 1990 — thanks to the 84 million gas-guzzling
SUV's they are now driving these days. A whole 24% more! In
fact, this "strategic" or public benefit or purpose, rather
than merely private or personal benefit or purpose, is the major
reason advanced by U.S. Congress and President Bush only
recently, in December 2007, when the Congress enacted, and
President Bush signed into law, the "Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007" — a law designed to increase the supply of
alternative fuel sources (of at least 36 billion gallons of
biofuel by 2022), and to reduce the average driver's demand and
usage of fuel by requiring that the driver meet a fuel economy
standard of 35 MPG (miles per gallon) by 2020.

2. America's Increasing Dependence on Foreign Oil

But, get this. That is only counting since 1990! What about going
a little further back before then? A May 2007 report by the
NBC's Today Show featuring John Hofmeister, the Chairman of the
Shell Oil Company, stated that in 1973 when the Middle East oil
producers embargoed oil shipments to the United States in
response to the Yom Kippur War, "At that time the country
imported about 35 percent of its oil. Since then and through six
different Presidents, America's dependence on foreign oil has
increased to more than 60 percent." More than 60 percent — since
1973! But, get this connection: this 60-percent-plus figure in
the amount of total oil usage by Americans today, is also largely
imported, particularly from the Middle East. And consequently,
what this means is that America remains increasingly "oil
dependent" on foreign countries.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, at least more than 50
percent of the oil used to produce the gasoline you put in your
tank today is imported. The bottom line: America and American
consumers continue to be increasingly vulnerable to (i.e.,
slavishly dependent on) foreign countries and sources for their
economic and strategic life and the security of the nation, in
terms of what price they'll pay for gasoline at any given point
in time, or when they'll get a supply of gasoline or not, or
even whether they'll get it or not, or under what terms and
conditions, and so on.

Here's the point here, therefore. To put it in simple terms, the
fact is that, a an individual motorist, any the gas-saving
methods and measures you can find and employ which can actually
reduce the amount of gas wastage you have and can economize and
save on your gasoline usage, will translate directly into
strengthening our national energy security as Americans and
Canadians by reducing our dependence on foreign oil. Petroleum
imports cost Americans about $4.4 billion per week (the U.S.
Department of Energy figures). That's money, or a part thereof,
that could be used to fuel our own American economy — in whole or
in part.

3. Protects the Environment and Our Earth

Finally, saving gas, or having a better fuel economy, has yet
another major dividend for the larger society and the humankind
that is far more than just your personal pocketbook — it's good
for the environment. Burning fossil fuel (meaning mostly gasoline
and diesel that are the kinds of fuel used in automobiles),
creates a whole host of environmental problems, such as adding
'greenhouse' gases, mostly carbon dioxide or CO2, to the
Earth's atmosphere, creating air pollution and smog,
contributing to global warming and climate change.

Consequently, having a good fuel economy in the operation of your
vehicle, and using fuel more efficiently in that process, serves
as well to protect the air, the land, water, and the wildlife
around us, and to improve the quality of lives over all.

Vehicles with lower fuel economy burn more fuel, creating more
CO2. By expert estimate, for every gallon of gasoline your
vehicle consumes (burns), about 20 pounds of CO2 (170cu. Ft) is
spewed into the atmosphere. Consequently, when you reduce gas
wastage and save on your gasoline usage (by employing the methods
outlined in Anosike fuel-savings manual for that), you also
automatically reduce the amount of Carbon Dioxide your vehicle
burns or puts into the atmosphere — meaning that you directly
reduce your own personal contribution to the above-described
environmental problems and to global climate change. For example,
it has been estimated by experts that just by engaging in one
single act, namely, opting to buy a vehicle that achieves 25
miles per gallon, rather than 20, you can prevent the release of
about 17 tons (260,000 cu. Ft.) of greenhouse gases into this
Mother Earth over the lifetime of your vehicle. Consider that!

SUMMARY

Summed up very simply, the task of attaining better fuel economy
or of using less gas for your vehicle, is not just good for your
pocketbook. It is, even just as importantly, if not more so, also
good for our nations, as well as for our environment, and our
Planet Earth. What could be a better or more noble purpose and
objective overall, for a society, or for a member of that
society!

That's even all the more cogent reasons why it pays very highly
for you, as an individual and an American or Canadian, or as just
plain human being in the world, that you should begin very
seriously to engage in a credible program and behavior of
effective green living, fuel-savings and fuel economy - the types
that are fully outlined in the chapters of the manual mentioned
below in author's box.
