More fuel, less cash - is it really possible?

As I write this, gas prices are over $3.50 a gallon. It seems un-American to have to pay $4 this summer for something we paid $3 for last summer, and $2 the one before that.

The scary part is that analysts on the tube predict this trend to continue and prices may double yet again before the next presidential election season.

Personally - I’m fed up!

Every time I put my credit card into the slot on the gas pump, I can feel it sucking the cash faster and faster, with that precious liquid flowing slower and slower for every dollar I spend. And yet, as I look around the web for ways to save money at the pump, I found most recommendations scattered here, there, and everywhere.

If we ever hope to live the lifestyle that we have become accustomed to - driving where we want on vacations, taking a tour of the country, or simply just getting to work without needing to ask for a raise twice a year to pay for the commute - what is to be done?

I put this site together to answer that very question. I want to know how to save money by spending less on fuel. When I go to buy a new car, I want to know what the most economical, fuel-efficient cars are. I want to know if I can modify my vehicle, such as with plug-in Hybrid technology, or if I can use bio-diesel where I live, or even acquire any other alternative-fuel source.

I want to save money on gas. And I don’t want to have to buy a bicycle and park my car in the garage forever to do it.

If you’re like me, please bookmark this page and come back frequently. My pledge to you is to research alternatives, interview experts, try out and critique new techniques and add-ons for my car, and do whatever I can do so that I don’t have to spend so much on fuel and can fill my tank less often.
