Fuel Saving Tips
We can always stand to get a bit more out of each gallon.
Try using these tips.
1. Slow down
One of the best ways to save gas is to simply reduce your speed. As speed increases, fuel economy decreases exponentially.
2. Check your tire pressure
Under-inflated tires are one of the most commonly ignored causes of bad MPG. Tires lose air over time (about 1 psi per month) and due to temperature (1 psi for every 10 degrees); under-inflated tires have more rolling resistance, which means you need to burn more fuel to keep your vehicle moving.
3. Check your air filter
A dirty air filter restricts the flow of air into the engine, which harms performance and economy. Air filters are easy to check and change; remove the filter and hold it up to the sun. If you can’t see light coming through it, you need a new one.
4. Accelerate with care
Race starts are an obvious fuel-waster — but that doesn’t mean you should crawl away from every light. If you drive an automatic, accelerate moderately so the transmission can shift up into the higher gears.

My first van!
Hey all!
I need a van thats big enough to carry entertainment equipment and sleep three people!
Big ask? I think I may have to customise it myself but wondered if anyone had seen anything out there already done?
Would love a motorhome but not sure if it would carry all my equipment too.
Any comments would be well recieved!
Cheers

Well, take a look at this fuel cell program
