Some Tips on Fuel Efficiency


Here are some tips on how to increase the fuel efficiency of your car and thereby save money :

Do not Drive.Before you get into your car,ask yourself " Is this trip really worth the gas ? " Maybe you ca walk a couple of blocks,ride a bike or take a bus to get your destination. If your destinations are near each other, park somewhere in between and instead of burning gas, bur some calories and walk.

Save fuel bu carpooling. Make arrangements with your neighbors,friends or colleagues in your work place or in school about the schedules. You can also lessen your reasons to drive by working closer to your home or taking public transportation to your work.

Filling up the tank early. Replenishing your car's fuel tank is best done early in the morning when it is cool. About 3 to 6 percent more fuel can be loaded compared to filling up at noon when the temperature is higher. After refilling, make sure that the fuel cap is tightened to lessen evaporation and prevent any spillage.

HONDA XRM-an answer to traffic


With gasoline pump prices steadily going up, driving the car around the town for a few quick errands is simply not practical. Cars guzzle up gasoline and hold you up in traffic.
When I decided to limit the use of the car but could not find any convenient carpool arrangements, I settled, albeit reluctantly at first, to buy a motorcycle. I shopped and asked around and most of my friends recommend the Honda line for its fuel efficiency.


I got the Honda XRM because I like its simple yet confident look. No elaborate designs and unnecessary accessories like the other models. I drive my XRM to the convenience shop, the drugstore, the post office, around the neighborhood, and practically anywhere that I don’ feel the danger of being side swiped by the big four-wheel runners.


The XRM is indeed very efficient in fuel consumption. One liter of gasoline could run up to 90 kilometers or one week of errands around the town. I go to the station only every Saturday and always fill it full tank. At most, I paid for 1.78 liters but that was when my sister was cooking for the weekend and I had to make 5 trips to the grocery for the ingredients.


After only more than six months, my savings on gas has covered the tag price for my Honda XRM motorcycle. To all Honda XRM owners, congratulations for the wise buy. To those thinking of buying motorcyles, I highly recommend the Honda XRM motorcycle. You will definitely love it!
