More Gadget Debunking
October 27th 2006 15:43
I'm still getting a few emails and see everywhere I turn on the net all these gadgets , pills, and the like that are supposed to save fuel. As most of you know, these devices and pills simply do not live up to the hype. Popular Mechanics have tested literally dozens of fly-by-night schemes and scams and have concluded the same.
As we've mentioned, there are ways of saving fuel (we've discussed dozens), but most of these are common sense approaches. Remember folks, if it sounds too good to be true IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!
Although we've touched on the notion of Green Cars in the past, we really haven't explored them as much as we should in my opinion. So, here's a top 10 list that is actually pretty good in my opinion. Many folks turn away from the idea of a green car for no other reason than the amount of green it takes to get one! However, it's the age old problem your upper end products always seem to have. Specifically, folks get too hung up on the upfront price irregardless as to what they may save in the long run. We are an impatient, cheap society in general. I want it now, and I want it cheap. It's that very mentality that is systematically killing our planet.
I run into it everyday with my synthetic oil business. I hear the common argument...Why should I pay $60-$70 for an oil change when I can get it for $24.99 at WalMart? Nevermind that they pay $24.99 about 4-5 times for what the $60-$70 accomplishes once. It's kind of a no brainer, but then again, there are a lot of no brainers in the world I suppose.
