" There's a that a system has brought you by Netflix. And GoDaddy. If you stop of one of the tourist -- gas stations here in San Francisco you know the ones by the off -- you can -- four dollars and nineteen cents for gallon of regular regular and four bucks a gallon is getting pretty common in our fair city now a quick look aghast but he's national gas temperature map shows that most of the country is. Far behind California's gas price may have look at that red that's mice speaking gas is expensive. But -- but you're still feeling the pain of gas and is well over three dollars a gallon can you get better mileage from your car truck. How about 3145. Miles per gallon it's been done. Sort of chances are that you're not a member of the -- challenging the society of automotive engineers annual mileage competition it's amazing during a tiny gasoline powered single passenger bullet so it basically helps if you're laying on your back you've got you know frontal area about the size of a basketball. And it really small engine but. There are lessons and high mileage rocket ship that applies here daily driver so let's talk about how to maximize your miles per gallon. On this episode of system. Called the system I'm Patrick Norton going to be talking about saving gas in this episode and this is not gonna be gadget centric edition of system no miracle magnets on lining the hydrogen carbon. Bogus stuff no hydrogen boosters and no right -- our minds either. We're gonna talk about the basic well documented things you can do to get the best mileage that if you're vehicle from how to estimate the -- reality should be getting that let you know things are off. Basic maintenance and can -- performance along with fuel efficiency. And the big one your driving habits that the number one thing that impacts they grossly impact how much you can get from a tanking gas. Now here in the US miles per gallon estimates for every car sold or publish or at least every car under 8500 congress vehicle are published by the EPA. In the fuel economy died they you can searches online it fuel economy dot poor. Fuel economy is measured under controlled conditions in a laboratory using a standardized test procedures specified by federal law. Manufacturers test their own vehicles usually pre production prototypes and they report the results of EPA. EPA reviews are resulting -- about ten to 15% of them through their own tests at the national vehicles and fuel emissions laboratory. So what a lot of people don't realize is -- EPA mileage test the ones on the sticker next to the price of the things that you with the car than the big list of accessories. Nobody drives these on course to get those mileage estimates EPA analysis are done by running the vehicle through a series of tests on the anemometer. Monitoring fuel consumption and kind of throw -- the information through formula based on the aerodynamics of the car. And the white now in 2007 EPA modify the formula to bring the test results more in line with real world observations. And the changes -- impact everything from hybrid to pick up trucks to the high mileage vehicles like the -- at a previous -- hammered the most going from sixty city if you -- highly. Down to 48 city 45 highway. It's still -- the most fuel efficient car you can buy. Now in 2008 EPA will include a series of new tests. And and it basically high speed lots of breaking lots of stomping on the accelerator air conditioning and cold temperature results again to make these estimates more accurate. Here's the thing and they say and the EPA web site. Your mileage will vary and the bits that very well we're here to talk about hunting them down and taking them out of the equation."

Dot com and blood that -- 99 cents while classic hello dean fast and easy west set out there and much more. And pick -- asked why ethic when he tech hat and say and it is not 20%. Any clouds what what LaMont thirteen --"

" Number 11 of the biggest things you can do to actually. Get the best fuel economy out of your vehicle is to perform regular maintenance now there's not much to tune up in late model. Fuel injected engines but it's critical that you keep the air filtering good shape -- change it regularly. EPA's is a clogged -- can cost you up to 10% of your fuel economy and you know what you'll notice a seat of the pants difference in performance too if you ever really clog air filter. You should also keep your tires properly inflated the car's gonna handle better and it'll help a lot with your miles now change your oil regularly and if you got a ton of stuff in the trunk leave it in the garage every hundred pounds you've got way around in the -- your pick up truck. We're talking about one to 2% of your fuel economy is going away so reduce the weight. Increase the fuel economy isn't any impact most of you but it's something to think about if you carrier a lot of junk. Another thing to think about is your oxygen sensors it takes a lot to knock -- sent to the point -- that over 82 sensors will -- got -- check -- your dashboard. But worn out -- one inches deep down have been suffering and you've got between one and four of them wonder card -- basically sit in the exhaust pipe and they measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust coming from the engine and they directly control the amount of -- has put in the engine. These can cost you brace yourself now. 40%. Of your mileage so if your mileage seems incredibly low. You might want to think about replacing the O two sensors they're not that expensive we're talking about fifty dollars 200 dollars. -- O two sensor and with the right socket basically got a three entrenched they're pretty easy to swap out. Think about these definitely -- how it seems low compared the EPA estimates and you're driving habits are in control. Driving habits though they are the single biggest impact on your mileage especially. You're speed and highway driving and how hard you hit the accelerator when your move around the city. Most cars interoperable miles per gallon around 45 -- 65 miles per hour. And every -- you go over sixty figure on dropping 1% of your mileage so 85 and highly means dropping your fuel efficiency by 25%. Or as the EPA puts it -- five miles per hour you drive over sixty miles per hour is like paying an additional twenty cents a gallon for gas. -- this compact fuel efficient vehicles and once they get thirty miles per gallon or more on the highway a lot less than it does than say my -- it pick up truck which can easily go from -- miles per count down to well under fifteen if -- hammer on it and if -- throwing headwind and forget about it it's just messy yeah we know you never speed but somehow we that you know that you'll be getting -- a lot. If you sixty miles per hour on a major interstate that cruise control can help a lot. We used in the right sections big flat areas it'll help keep -- sixty. Instead of suddenly find yourself doing 85 with the big rigs in Wyoming. Or you know what with all the commuters around here in northern California ideas it'll help you keep the speed and where you want it this would want to when -- into the big hills because the cruise control automatically. Well the throttle up your engines sort of go from 1800 to 34000 RPM mister -- a big hill. So you may want to back off on the cruise control and use the accelerating yourself when you get to a big deal by the way you'll also want to practice having it XP and especially here in Southern California where everybody likes speed and they'll give you. Very interesting gestures as they go by your car which they believe is blocking their right to do 85 even in the slowly and dvd on the accelerator when you're leading lights it's the stops and starts to make the city miles per gallon numbers lower than the highway numbers along with the idling you're doing lawyers stopped stomping on the accelerator employment Jack -- start does not help and don't leave it in second -- feels great he got that pushed back into the seat feeling. It -- speed faster but you're wasting a lot of fuel. And set off the engine instead of idling when you get to where you're going matter of fact if he is -- gonna be running for. More than ten seconds thirty seconds you might think about shutting it down because -- does little bits little bits of fuel certainly add up over time. -- the big thing about carpool if you're commuting every day. And -- multiple stops on a single trip great ideas because if he's basically leave the house to drive ten miles and go to a couple places and drive ten miles back. Much more efficient than driving ten miles -- back and I intend thousand -- and driving ten miles and back over the course they are too. No the most extreme form of driving for fuel economy is practiced by hyper my dollars by practicing extreme driving habits they can easily WPA estimates on a vehicle the basics things like doing the speed limit or under it. Out of the interstate not idling and coasting instead of accelerating our foundation and we think postings and accelerating we're talking about towards stoplight. Not some other things hyper mile is do they maximize the tire pressure basically extract. The least amount of friction out of the that the pact between the tires and the asphalt. They use the lowest weight oil recommended for the engine to minimize friction. Back again regular air filter changes and frighteningly -- don't have breaks. Coasting is a big deal for this group because posting uses a lot less fuel than what accelerating. As it actually is not using the cruise control hyper -- is what you to keep the load in your engine constant in its most fuel efficient range which means. Well instead of speeding up to maintain sixty slowing down and keeping your engine -- say 1800 rpm and highway goes up a steeper grade little painful -- scary down south towards LA when you're going up the great fine. But the most fuel efficient way to drive to see. Not several want to my favorite movies not necessarily does of the movie itself which is a delightful little farce in Mexico -- mad little madcapped experimentation. In. People blowing stuff up because. The extras on the dvd. Are amazing it's called once upon a time in Mexico it's a third in the el mariachi trilogy but it easily stands on its own directed by Robert Rodriguez and starring Antonio Banderas and Johnny Depp. It has a convoluted plot involving.

" On system because the dvd include the best the highlight video I have ever seen Johnny gets character constantly create the traditional Mexican dish. -- peace deal and it's ten minute how to media listen to cool part director Robert Rodriguez showed you exactly had to prepare its magnificent it's delightful it's totally worth seeing.

" When -- the dean of hyper mile is Hispanic and he's -- a Honda insight 280. Miles per gallon in competition. That's pretty amazing. -- an obvious way of getting. More fuel economy that we haven't mentioned yet is buying a more fuel efficient core say if I drop my Subaru wagon did family vehicle on the snow. To say a Honda fit I -- get a 25% boost on the highway from 25 miles per gallon to 34 in at least a 35% boost. In city driving -- scooby barely hits rarely barely is -- now -- down estimates city that the EPA assigns it. This might not be the answer though if you don't rival. Now it's exciting that emissions are down in the CO two is down and modern cars are pretty phenomenal terms -- performance. But before you alone and new car take a look at how many miles you actually drive every year with 30000 or more okay you'll probably save the mad cash. Typically though fuel costs are the least expensive part of owning a car and the typical American drives around 14000 miles a year. At fifteen miles per gallon that's 3700 dollars a year in gas assuming you're paying our fabulous four dollar -- gallon price here in San Francisco. At twenty miles per gallon that's 2800 dollars a year and gas in at 35 miles per gallon that's 1600 a year gas. And you know it just basically double those numbers if you're driving 30000 miles a year. You know the Honda fit might not be a bad idea -- at the -- crash ratings to his own drive in hand and the thing. And we'll get back to that later on just there's a favor and take a look at the total cost of owning a car before you go out to save money on gasoline. If your insurance for polls because your company that 85 Volvo for new Prius. Well you get the idea if you're not spending a few hundred dollars a month on a car loan right now think about that you know if you're just just do the math are -- this talk about you know financial numbers. Does it favor take a look at to tire pressure change your air filter -- about -- driving habits -- close look at how faster driving out on the highway if the whole -- I don't care it's three dollars a gallon in Oklahoma. Or four dollars plus here in California. Chances are you're Fed up with spending a lot of money on gas to do is a favor. -- and save a few miles per gallon in save yourself some money.
