Hope you had a happy Mother's Day.
We went out for breakfast ..it was
wonderful... I got to spend lots of
time with one of my grandsons... he drew
a very cute purse for me with a lovely
inscription inside...the other
I saw the next day and received a photo collage.
Both were wonderful gifts.
This issue, I want to talk about Hyper-miling.
We have to deal with the
gas prices as we plan our vacations and also
learn some new ways to save on the gas we use
everyday.
Even if you don't own a hybrid, you can save on
gas mileage by laying off the brake (carefully).
Stepping on the brake every chance you get can waste
a lot of fuel.
Pay attention and see if you tend to
brake unecessarily. Remember, we want to use common sense
here...braking is important, but you may be a nervous braker.
Try to avoid turning on that air conditioner as much as
possible. You can turn off the AC going uphills..I am sure you
have noticed the drag you get...that means you are using more fuel.
Lower you speed: Optimum speed for cars and LIGHT trucks is 55-60mph.
This technique is well know to save fuel and lives. There is some
controversy. ..do your own tests...do you get better mileage doing 55
on a trip or perhaps 62-68?
Read about it here:

Try to time stop lights....lower your speed going into
a red light so you have a chance of catching it green..
although, you definitely still want to proceed cautiously
through the intersection!
Avoid left turns....Go around the block instead..you can end
up getting there quicker, rather than sitting at that stop light
trying to make a left hand turn.
Some hypermilers park near slopes so they can use gravity to
get their cars going rather than gas...just remember the time
you were so low on gas, you used coasting techniques.. .but, please
be safe...you don't want people to run into you from behind!
I hope some of these ideas help you save fuel....if possible, get
out the bike..but that's a whole other newsletter.
Make sure you join my network so you
can keep up with everything going on here. It's a wonderful place
where moms can talk about the kids, their joys, sorrows, the book
they are reading, what helps them cope, what they are watching on TV,
share recipes, holiday tips, movies they like, what's in their garden

The First Thirty Days
http://amomslove.com/entertainmen t-bookreview-thirtydays.html"When we make a change in our lives -- going back to school, starting
a business, pursuing a creative path -- we also provoke an identity
shift. And even though the changes are external, often it's more of
an internal journey that we are being asked to take. To ensure that
we don't get lost along the way, we need to connect with the core of
our being, the essence of who we are."
