[NSRCA-discussion] Off topic: Scangauge

[Bob Richards]

On the subject of oil/gas prices, I recently purchased this device, in the interest of learning how to save gas:  (and, I admit I am a gadget freak).

  I was getting about 26.5 mpg with my Nissan Frontier pickup driving to/from work and locally.  With the instant feedback I was getting from the above device, I learned how to change my driving habits, and on the last tank of gas I got 31.8 mpg.  I now get better gas mileage locally than I get on the highway.
   
  Obviously, the best way to save gas is to slow down. But I was learning when was the best time to shift gears (manual transmission) and which routes really save gas.
   
  Just thought I would share with the group.

  As far as hurting the price of oil, my heart bleeds.
   
  The price of oil is hurting our economy; many families are having a hard time paying for groceries because of oil. 
   
   Milk, meats, are 30% higher than last year.
   
  Let the oil companies hurt, badly I hope.
