As I am writing this piece, the Fourth of July is just around the corner. Everyone looks forward to the picnics, pyrotechnics, and patriotism. This is definitely one of the happier holidays on the American calendar, the date that the Continental Congress adopted our Declaration of Independence, in Philadelphia. Eventually, there were 56 signers of this document. These brave men risked everything, including their very lives, to do what they believed was the honest and right thing. I hope our congress men and women of today will reflect on these predecessors during this holiday.
With gas prices going through the roof, holiday travel can be very expensive. As a large part of our energy consumption is for cars, it is important that we understand how to get better gas mileage. Most cars have two or three pedals on the floor. This month I am asking you to tell me which one is the cause of the most loss of fuel economy. Most folks get this one wrong.
Have a great Independence Day, … if you are in the USA that is.
