3 Ways to Save on Your Fuel Bill

<h1>3 Ways to Save on Your Fuel Bill</h1>Author: <a title="Glenn Page" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/glenn-page/72072.htm">Glenn Page</a> Sick of rising fuel costs. Here are three great ideas to cut those costs.
Fuel prices suck! With prices spiking over $1.70/litre, it's getting out of control. Well like YOU we've had enough. We researched three simple measures you can take to help reduce your fuel bill...
1. Use the internet to find Cheap Fuel
A handy web tool for locating cheap fuel is motormouth.com.au; a simple to use, free website dedicated to finding cheap fuel in your area.
MotorMouth is designed to save you time and money, making it even easier to find the cheapest fuel in your area!
You can search for the best fuel price in your area, or register to receive free fuel price email alerts.
MotorMouth currently reports fuel prices in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth only.
The search function is very simple to use and the tests I performed found some marked price variations which helped me in reducing my weekly fuel bill.
Similar sites for the US and Canada is gasbuddy.com and gaspricewatch.com.
2. Car share
There are a growing number of car share services popping up, particularly in city areas. These services enable you to book a car inexpensively for a few hours at a time. The costs of maintenance and insurance are covered in the fees you pay, and if you don't use your car a lot you can save a lot of money. Some services also include the cost of fuel in the booking fee, further reducing your costs.
Here are some great sites we checked out for you: • GoGet: Sydney and Melbourne • Charter Drive: Sydney • Gwiz CarShare: Brisbane • Nexus Car Share: Perth • Needaride: Post your request or offer on this site to link up with others that are offering/looking for a lift. • Thecarpool: This free site puts people in contact with others who want to save money by sharing their travelling costs
3. Use Alternative Fuels
<a href="http://home.people.net.au/~pagey/Fuel.html">Water for Gas.</a>
Is it possible to run your car on water? Absolutely, only you need to extract the energy out of water to make it work and you do that with a home built hydrogen gas generator.
Water has a lot of energy in it and your goal is to extract that energy without spending more on electricity than what you can get out of the thing. By simple electrolysis, you can separate the water molecules into their core elements of hydrogen and oxygen and create a burnable gas known as HHO, or Brown's gas.
I decided to test out this theory and bought the Water4Gas system. Using these very simple instructions I built a hydrogen generator and installed it in my Ford.
The technology is safe and reliable and I did not have to modify my car's engine or computer in any way. The hydrogen generator installs quickly and should you want to remove it, you can do so with no evidence of it ever having been there.
I have been running this system for over 3 months now and I am getting 35-40% increases in fuel mileage and I have had no engine problems what so ever.
This is well worth looking into if YOU want to stick it to the Gas Companies and save some of your well earned cash.
<a href="http://home.people.net.au/~pagey/Fuel.html">Fuel Star Combustion Catalyst</a>  
Fuelstar combustion catalysts have been used with great success since 1992 in over 30 counties.
A combustion catalyst improves combustion, giving a more complete fuel burn. This leads to improved engine efficiency, resulting in better fuel economy, reduced emissions, improved engine performance and cleaner internal engine operating surfaces.
This is a great option if you don’t want to play around making hydrogen generators. The system comes complete and is as easy to install as a fuel filter.
Many reports indicate a fuel savings of 12% to 18%, however I have not tested this one out as yet.
So, the fuel price surge doesn't look like it will be letting-up anytime soon, and for most of us, there's little we can do to avoid paying astronomical prices. However, hopefully these tips will assist in easing the price rises and, with any luck, also help cut the cost of your next journey...About the Author: Glenn Page is a normal suburban father who is trying to cut the rising costs of raising a family.
