In Europe and the rest of the world Diesel powered cars are the norm, where as in the United States most of our vehicles are gasoline powered. Generally Diesel is a much better for the environment vehicle as the exhaust is not a toxic to humans. Diesels put out CO2, which can be used by trees and plant life, while gasoline engines put out carbon monoxide, which can be much worse and even more dangerous to our human bio systems.

Honda already makes trucks with diesel engines, but as of yet have not built cars for the United States, which use diesel fuel. Imagine running bio-diesel fuel in your personal Honda Car? Well, Honda engineers already have and are almost ready to release them to the consumer market and you will soon be seeing them in Honda Auto Dealerships across the nation.

Our previous article talks about good maintenance of your vehicle and how it relates to better mileage.

How about good planning? If it is the bottom line you are after, then it does help in some way. Today’s topic is not so much about engineering, but more about using your common sense when traveling.

Plan your trips so that you can combine all your errands into one trip. It saves you time and money. A warm engine is more efficient. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as a longer multi-purpose trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm.

By planning your trip well, you make sure that all your traveling is done when the engine is warmed-up and efficient.

If you are forgetful, you might find that sometimes you have to make several trips to a certain locality to complete your errands. Spend a bit of time to plan your route. Write down what you have to do. Have a mental picture of your first stop, your next stop and so on…

With a little planning of the route to take, you can avoid retracing your route and reducing the distance you have to travel as well. You not only save fuel, but also reduce wear and tear on your car.

There are a few advantages to buying a used car. The biggest benefit is in the cost of the vehicle. Cars depreciate about 40% in the first three years of ownership. You can save a significant amount of money if you purchase an automobile that is about three or four years old, rather than a new one. Of course, you want to make sure the vehicle is in good condition. If it isn’t, the money you put out for repairs can eat up your savings.

Questions to Ask:

• Ask about the mileage on the car. The lower the mileage, the better the deal you are getting. Look for a vehicle with lower mileage.

• Ask about the maintenance the car has received. Ideally, you want to see a maintenance schedule that will prove the car has received the necessary repairs. Look for information on oil changes, tune ups, tire rotation, filter and fluid replacement. Even if the vehicle has slightly higher mileage, if it is well maintained it is more likely to be reliable.

• Has the car been painted? While a new paint job may seem like a bonus, it may not be. Some people hide damage and accidents with a cheap paint job. While the car may look great, the paint can be masking larger problems with the body. In addition, a cheap paint job could begin to chip or peel in a few months time, leaving you with a terrible looking car.
