Newspaper

current event by markmcb on 16 July 2006, tagged as mechanics

Hybrid. Bio-Diesel. Hydrogen. We've heard them all. As the world rushes to find alternatives to our current fossil fuel sources, the everyday American is caught somewhere in the middle.

This extensive article walks you through the tools and methodology one can use to assess an engine's performance as well as one's own driving habits. In the end, you'll improve your driving, do a little less damage to Mother Nature, and save yourself a few dollars at the pump.
