Ron in OH said: (quoted from post at 06:43:23 02/29/08) The best way to get your fuel price lower is too cut your engine RPM's by driving slower. These people who complain a lot about the high cost of gas or diesel are still driving 65,70 or 75 MPH on the roads. On my 05 Duramax if I cut my speed (empty) to 55 and RPM's to 1500 I can get about 22 to 24 MPG. If I run 70 I'm doing good to 15. At these fuel prices I can pay myself pretty good saving a 1/3 on fuel cost. It's all about "time management" and control. So when I hear the local's complain about fuel cost I just them they have some control. There question "how can I control my gas price" and I say just slow down. They look at you with their eyes rolling. It's probably good if fuel goes to $4.50 plus. At least it'll get the population to think conservation.
I'll go along with all of that. It makes wonder WHY the Feds are allowing speeds on the interstates to be so high. Out one side of their mouths they are urging America to conserve and the other side is letting states set speed limits of 75 & 80. Back when the limit was 55 I was driving truck at night and I could not stay awake at 55 so I'd drive 60 and all was well. If the country is really interested in cutting our consumption of fossil fuels (had to use that one) and leaving something for future generations (another good one) they'd just set a national speed limit again; but, please God, they'd make it 60 this time! :D

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
