Save money on fuel

Advantages: Simple steps, money to be saved
Disadvantages: Some effort required

I have used the subject 'petrol price debate' to highlight how to save money on fuel at a time when fuel prices are escalating out of control thanks to greedy oil companies & slimey worthless parasites, a.k.a. politicians. As an ex-mechanic I always us ...

Review of Petrol Price Debate

Cut Your Costs and CO, Too

Advantages: Taking your own action to cut fuel use takes the initiative away from politicians!
Disadvantages: Is saving oil tantamount to arranging deckchairs on the Titanic?
