Until that point, work on driving less and driving smarter.

Thanks Marcome - I agree, we need to change and move forward. Great job on being an "early" hybrid owner! Hi Pete - thanks very much for your comment. Makes sense! Biofriendly (the company I blog for) makes an effective fuel additive that helps break down that "unburnt" gasoline. So between that and energy conserving oils, etc. cars get a better chance at increased fuel economy and fewer emissions. Thanks Julie! Very true....just a few small changes, can add up quickly. Thanks Steph!

What I love most about them is that it's not rocket science. By planning ahead and making small, appropriate choices, all the actions add up to make a difference. These are all useful and great tips!

Since the late '80s, cars have transitioned to being fuel-injected with electronic ignition. They run cooler and the oil stays cleaner, longer. They've also been able to run tighter tolerances allowing for lighter oil, which flows around engine components with less friction. Cars before the '80s required a heavier, more viscous oil. Unburnt gasoline worked as a solvent breaking down the oil, resulting in more friction and poorer fuel economy. I think “energy conserving” oil has pretty much become standard with modern cars.

I rarely have to go to the garage anymore because the car being electric, all the other components get used half the time. My car is already old, with the new electric ones there will be less consumption of all the oil products and their derivatives. I sense that the whole oil industry is against it but it will have to change or we die! I personally did the choice of buying an hybrid in 2007 and I don’t regret it.
