EPA | Atlanta has Dirty Gas Now

Georgia will get a dirtier Gas now



Metro Atlanta’s gas is still not running at capacity. Meanwhile, federal officials granted Gov. Sonny Perdue's request to allow metro Atlantans to use dirtier-burning fuel until the shortage eases. Atlanta's gasoline shortage has not eased and now there are lines for fuel across the area.

What does this mean? Well ,more carbon build up in our automobile engines, and bad emissions polluting our already smog filled air. We still need to find alternative solutions, including but not limited to common sence. According to Environmental Protection Agency research, the miles per gallon your car gets will quickly drop above 60 miles per hour. Driving 60 mph can save drivers between 7 percent and 23 percent on fuel economy, which can translate to between 26 cents and 86 cents per gallon.

Beyond increasing the life of your car, there is some fuel savings benefit to getting a tune-up.
Depending on the work that needs to be done -- not to mention how well it's done -- can improve fuel economy by about 4 percent. More serious repair work, like fixing a faulty oxygen sensor, can save up to 40 percent of fuel economy.

The EPA recommends trying to do as many errands as possible in one trip in order to save time and money. The government's report said that several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as a longer multipurpose trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm. Trip planning ensures that traveling is done when the engine is warmed-up and efficient.

I hope these tips will help you ease the pain at the pumps somewhat.
