Pain at the Pump

Books on how to improve gas mileage for cars are everywhere. But here is one that you will always keep, for it is not a cut and dry listing of do's and don'ts that is merely a rehash of what is common knowledge. The author is a certified car nut who is totally into things automotive and he can get carried away when it comes to squeezing the last ounce of go-power out of a gallon of gas, and so his book goes beyond just the theoretical.



All the fun of a road-trip is here. The cruise night, with all the cars pictured are illustrated free hand by him to add to the rollicking fun. And the show-and-tell covering the things he has done to his Corolla to make it go the distance like a Prius alone will get you excited.



His little microcar, a 1958 Berkeley, gets over 60 miles per gallon. It has got him excited about getting the word out that small cars can be big in that they can free us from having to depend on foreign oil. With today's technologies they can make them better, stronger and more durable.



Until we can ride around in the new generation of gas-sipping microcars, we will have to do what we can to make every gallon of gas go as far as possible. This book will show you how. Let all the pain Big Oil is causing you to dissipate into the desert dust, as you pack up and go on this imaginary road-trip. And you can leave your gas can at home.
