Reducing Gas Prices
We can reduce gas prices, and in many cases reduce our expenses in other areas, by reducing the demand for petroleum products. How do we reduce demand? Easy. Reduce consumption. Here are some suggestions on how to do that:
1. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Improperly inflated tires reduce gas mileage. Most tires should be inflated to 32-35 psi, but look on your tires for specific numbers.
2. Make sure your engine is properly tuned. An out of tune engine wastes gas and money. Have it checked.
3. When you stop at a stop light, stay stopped until the light is green. Don’t try to ease up a little at a time – this not only wastes gas, but wears out your brakes sooner than normal.
4. Accelerate slowly. Rapid acceleration (“jack rabbit starts”) wastes gas.
5. Use synthetic oil whenever you change or have your oil changed. Since it’s synthetic, you are not using a petroleum product therefore you are reducing demand. Most cars actually get better gas mileage with synthetic oil, so it’s a win win.
6. Whenever possible, use alternative fuels such as biodiesel or E85. They not only reduce petroleum consumption, but they are cheaper and better for the environment. Unfortunately, they are not widely available yet in most places, but start asking about them when you buy gas and fuel distributors will begin to get the message; if they think there is a market, they will supply that market.
7. Don’t rush out to buy a new car… but if you are in the market for one anyway, consider buying a more fuel efficient car or even a hybrid car. Hybrid cars are more expensive but you can get a federal tax credit which will offset much of the extra expense and if you do a lot of driving, the money you save on gas will offset the rest.
8. Carpool.

Note that your domain name is just an address or “label”. It doesn’t automatically mean you have “website hosting” unless it’s explicitly included in your online order.
If you only have the domain name, sign up for website hosting. You basically lease or borrow someone’s space to put your homepage into online.
Your hosting provider should then give you at least 2 names called “nameservers” (e.g. ns1/ns2.nameofyourhost.com). You then log inside your domain name account and change its “nameservers” or DNS to those of your host.
If you need help with that, contact whoever is managing your domain name.
Hope these help.
