This is really a bummer, BSOD on live TV with Bill Gates standing behind? What a shame Windows 98!

Petrol price is going up, and up and up. One thing for sure it will going down, AGAIN! So, the only way to save is…

Properly Inflated Tires
According to an exercise at Carnegie Mellon University, only 1 in 81 cars has the recommended air pressure in all four tires. Keep an accurate tire pressure gauge in your glove box (many gas station gauges give false readings) and check your pressure at least once a month when the tires are cold.
Average savings: 3%

Tailgating NASCAR Style
This is a little secret race car drivers have known about for years. Cruising just a few inches away from the car directly in front of you cuts down on wind resistance (”drag”). The front car pushes aside most of the air and your engine doesn’t have to work as hard. Plus you actually help the car in front because two vehicles moving together create less total resistance than one vehicle running alone.
Average savings: 16%

The Brick Trick
Critical water shortages were permanently averted years ago by the simple act of dropping a brick down everyone’s toilet tank. So why not get the same results in your car with a bucket full of gravel or decorative aquarium sand? Less money down your tank means more money in your pocket.
Average savings: 21%

Forward Momentum
It’s a simple law of physics: Objects at motion tend to stay at motion. Get your speed up to a few hundred MPH, then switch off the engine and coast a while. You’ll get where you’re going faster, and you’ll be sailing right past that smug prick in the hybrid.
Average savings: 33% to 42% depending on wind direction

Gravity’s Rainbow
This one takes a little advance planning, but the savings can really add up. Always drive downhill. You may not get to work or see your house as often but who cares? You’re on Newton’s dime now. It won’t use any more fuel than a kid sliding down a grassy hill on a sheet of cardboard, and it’ll be just as much fun.
Average savings: 54% plus

Cut Their Throats
U.S. oil and auto industry executives (just like the cigarette companies) have known for decades that petroleum is addictive and deadly, but did nothing about it. We’re all driving SUVs and luxury pickup trucks because of their greed and shortsightedness. Instead of rewarding the bastards with multi-million dollar bonuses and extravagant perks, we should be murdering them in their sleep.
Average savings: 0% but it’ll make us all feel much better about ourselves!

Zumo: A biker’s gadget!

Garmin International has introduced a GPS-navigator Zumo specially designed for bikers. It is left-hand oriented, gloves friendly and has big buttons on the touchscreen LCD.

Zumo is equipped with a 3.5” LCD, the info from it can be read even under the bright sunlight. The shell is waterproof (up to 30 minutes 1 meter deep), the LCD is protected from fuel splashes and ultraviolet with special plastic.

The navigator can display speed and fuel level. When Zumo detects low fuel level, it will automatically inform about it and offer the route to the nearest fuel station. Besides it supports Bluetooth and has an MP3-player.

Optionally it comes with an FM RDS-TMC receiver or XM NavTraffic receiver to track road situation.
