Things you should know about Gas and Tips to Improve Fuel Economy

May 10th, 2007

Things you should know:

  • Air Conditioning does not waste more gas.
  • If there was a small inexpensive device that could improve fuel economy, the automakers would be all over it
  • Windows down or windows up make no difference to fuel economy
  • There is no ideal day to purchase your gas (although prices tend to be higher on weekends)
  • Turning your engine off and on does not waste more gas (engine off is better than idling)

Tips to improve fuel economy:

  • Check your tire pressure.
  • Take out any unnecessary weight.
  • If you have cruise control, use it.
  • Avoid speeding.
  • Do regular maintenence on your car.

What I learned about snowboarding

March 31st, 2007

I went with my brother’s friends to Lake Tahoe on Friday, they gave me a couple of good pointers and tips to tear up the mountain. I’ve gone once before, but myexperiences were limited to falling down the mountain several times. Since then, I’ve learned a couple of things.

    • Go to the bathroom before hand. You don’t want to have to go while up there.
    • Keep your weight forward, always. Otherwise, you’ll fall. Also, it’s hard to steer with your weight in the back.
    • Keep your knees bent.
    • Don’t go faster than what you’re used to.
    • Keep on the edges of the board.
    • Keep hydrated.
    • Boreal has 10$ fridays (you can use the lift all day on fridays for only 10$).
    • Wear sunscreen and chapstick, the sun reflects off the ice and you can get burned.
    • Don’t wear too much, it can get really hot when the sun is out.
    • If you are going fast enough, you cut across bumps like a knife.
