Ravaging the globe in biblical proportions is the Fuel Flu epidemic. Early signs include depleted budgets, indecision whether to drive or eat for the day, incessant complaining, and fear of the future.
Transport industries such as trucking, shipping, etc., found a temporary solution to the Fuel Flu – pass the rising fuel costs down to us consumers of such necessities as food, clothing and shelter.
Carbon bandits rob your family of its wealth and health.
As a society who depends on various forms of transportation for our jobs and households, we have unwittingly become innocent victims of Carbon Bandits. Although we do not realize it, but lurking in the fuel we use, whether it be gas, diesel, or bio-diesel fuel – Carbon Bandits wait menacingly to ambush and rob us.
In these days of record high fuel prices affecting already stretched budgets, many of us are looking for tips on fuel savings. Unfortunately, most tips are “no-brainers”.
Some suggest staying within posted speed limits because “…the faster you drive, the more fuel you use.” Daah !!! Explain that to a teenager!
Fuel costs affect every facet of life. Farm machinery, trucks, boats, trains, school buses, etc., all consume fuel in order to provide food, transportation, and products for us. We, the end consumers ultimately end up paying for rising fuel costs by higher priced foods, clothing, housing, education, transportation, etc., as well as our own fuel.
The impact on our transportation industry has far reaching consequences. The American Trucking Association already “…deeply concerned about the impact of diesel price increases on the motor carrier industry and on our national economy…”, offers tips for saving on fuel as well as naming truck stops providing the cheapest fuels, etc.
Diuretics, commonly known as “water pills,” are designed to help eliminate water. In engines, water and fuel are inbred kissing cousins, that when left unsupervised, produce carbon baby abnormalities, e.g., power and performance demise, decreased mileage, increased toxic emissions, increased maintenance applications, and engine fatality.
Who should use an engine diuretic?
The only constant in life is change. For decades, master mechanics in arenas such as — trucking, automotive, motorcycle, farm, boat, etc. – articulated feeding our vehicles a well balanced diet of fuel, frequent replacement of oil and spark plugs, plus various other recommendations. Combining these admonitions, with copious amounts of driving exercises, promised to achieve healthy longevity.
Then came news that certain additives and/or supplements would:
Does the word “pollution” evoke a passive response from you? I am embarrassed to say that before this article, “pollution” was an impotent word further weakened by its necessity – we depend on engines of all shapes and sizes to function in modern society.
After completion of research, “pollution” now elicits a bittersweet awareness, as it legions an invigorated ominous significance.
…your carbon kids are taken away. In fact, your will be spending your “mun, mun, mun” until those skuzzy little rebels are removed.
Remember the good old days when you drove your brand new vehicle off the lot — the engine purred like a kitten, responded to your slightest touch, you got the miles per gallon claimed on the sticker, and driving was something you looked forward to? You may have even enjoyed being nominated the “designated” driver.
