Keep it Coming!

I got my Economic Stimulus check a couple of weeks ago. I'm afraid our government is going to be disappointed because I am using it for things that most likely won't help the economy pick up. With this check I'm able to keep food on the table for a week, lights on low for another month and gas in my Westy for at least another day. All I can say is send me another check! Keep that free money coming!

Nevin I too received my check. I had plans of up dating the camp cook ware, not. With this check I can fill my propane tank reserve a spot on the ferry for the Big Duck camp out. Then save the rest too go to the West River Westy`s, with a full tank of gas. The check was nice but all I want too do is go camping!!!!!!!!!!! later the Con Kid

Where is my check already? Oh well, it should be soon. I think saving it for gas to West River Westies is a splendid idea! It should be enough for gas and fire water if the prices do not keep going up. I am about ready to mount a VW insignia on my prius!

We're now 1/10 of a cent off the 4 Buck mark and still climbing. Just how much gas will 1/10 of a cent buy?

well, here on long island, we've already been paying over the $4 mark. Last week Brad traded in his daily driver; a Dodge Hemi pickup- got a brand new leftover 07 Fahrenheit GTI. He had to argue with the dealer to take it in as a trade in.

For those of you who can't take that noozle where it hurts, here's a few basic techniques known as "hypermiling" to get more miles for your buck. (some are good and some are bad)
*Avoid using brakes as much as possible.
*Inflate tires to proper pressure.
*Use a thinner motor oil.
*Time traffic lights and roll thru stop signs.
*Put car in neutral or turn the ingition off and coast.
*Keep the windows closed and the AC off.
*Use the draft from trucks on the highway.
*Leave more space between your car and the next in a line of
traffic.
*Drive with one wheel on the center line to reduce friction.
*Use cruise control to maintain a steady speed.
*Tread very lightly on the accelerator.
*Drive the speed limit.
