Re: So... Gas is approaching $4 gallon

Most of my driving is done in a company truck so I don't have to spend to much. Most nights I get to drive it home so that helps also. I only live 8 miles from work so it wouldn't be to bad anyway. The company has made some changes to save fuel. All non-essential trucks have been replaced with hybrid cars. Our service trucks have been equipped with remote start switches on the crane controls so it is easier to shut down and restart the engine when working.

My wifes car on the other hand is still costing us in fuel. We haven't made many changes to save fuel, but I am looking into installing a dual fuel kit so I can run LPG. Not much better fuel economy, but LPG is cheaper. I've got everything figured other than tank mounting.

I'm not sure what good nitrogen would do in the tires. If you use a regular compressor, your tires have 75% nitrogen anyway. Checking and maintaining your tire pressure would do more good than anything.
