Fuel Price: Fuels Growth or Decay?


The falling Crude prices to lower levels raises some questions. There was a slump in car sales across the world for the last two years. Now the falling prices of crude  tempts people to go for cars which may boost up the sales and see more industrial activity. Once the cars are purchased  they have to be used at any cost. None would keep his/her car in garage permanently. I think once the sales rise up and meets the industrialists' expectations the price of petrol would shoot up. The trap may be to net in more to make them consume more. 

Another flip side of this slip is the rising levels of pollution.

  Tips to save fuel.

STOP IDLING

It wastes and wastes and gives you nothing in return

Idling — it does nothing for you, but it —

  • Wastes Fuel
    Hundreds of Rupees for small cars and vans and thousands of Rupees for trucks.
  • Pollutes the Atmosphere
    Your exhaust, together with everyone else's, is destroying the air you breathe.
  • Shortens Engine Life
    If your engine is running and you are going nowhere, what sense does that make? None, it just wears out the engine quicker.
  • Burns Up Money
    Fuel costs money, so going nowhere costs fuel and money.

What can you do to stop Idling

  1. "Turn it off" when your vehicle isn't going anywhere — except when stopped in traffic.
  2. For trucks, use the latest automatic shut-off devices or install other equipment to run your cab heater and air conditioner in the most economical way.
  3. Ensure your vehicle is well maintained so you don't have the excuse, "if I turn it off, it won't start again."
