Gas Saving Tip for The Sports Fan
October 5th 2006 01:15
We have not really discussed aerodynamics or what is called "drag" too much as of yet here, but we have danced around the issue a bit. Well since I'm heading to a College Football Game soon, I got to wondering about all those cute little team flags you see donning the windows of most of the cars you see as you approach the stadium. It doesn't really matter what the sport or level, if you've been around sports (especially football) it seems to be epidemic. Here's a nice little article that should get you to think twice about rooting for your team in that manner anyways.
There are tons more ways to help solve this notion of engine drag. Engine drag varies between vehicles and obviously driving styles, but in general the physical component of your vehicle will be the biggest enemy causing excess engine drag. Chief among the enemies here is a vehicle out of alignment. This just begins the whole process of drag. Not only bad for your engine, have you priced tires lately? They ain't exactly cheap. If you haven't had your alignment checked in a while, do yourself a favor and get it done. Here's a hint. If your tires are fairly new or you think they're ok, go ahead and take your vehicle to the Les Schwab boys. If you're in need of tires, you can still go here, but the chances are better than not that you'll be walking out with a new set of tires as well as an alignment. Don't get me wrong, if both those things are needed, you will save a ton in the long run.
As always...............Godspeed and Good Luck!
