In the year 2008 we have seen record high gas prices and then the prices went back down to pre-2007 prices. People are looking for ways to improve their gas mileage, but yet they want SUVs and trucks still. One of the most popular vehicles in 2008 is the Honda Ridgeline. Let's take a look at how to improve the Honda Ridgeline gas mileage with a few low cost or no cost steps.

The very first step to improving your gas mileage is to drive better. As you are driving you, hopefully, should be noticing the posted speed limit signs. If you drive within these speed limits you are likely to use less gas. Driving over the speed limit is going to make your Ridgeline use more fuel. If the speed limit is 55 mph and you drive at 65 mph you are going to notice that your vehicle consumes 20% more fuel. You can do the math for the speed that you typically drive.

Have you also noticed that on the shifting pattern there is the "D" with a circle around it? This is the overdrive gear. Driving in overdrive also helps improve the gas mileage. The engine doesn't have to work as hard while in overdrive which will reduce the amount of fuel that is needed to operate it and also reduces the amount of wear and tear on your engine. You should also use your cruise control whenever possible. People that don't use cruise control tend to change in their speed often. If you can't maintain a constant speed you are not going to have the best gas mileage that your vehicle has to offer.

Often times people like to just drive. They will drive to the grocery store and then back home. In a couple hours they realize that they need something at the hardware store, so they will take that trip and back home again. Taking several small trips and not allowing your car enough time to warm the engine properly uses about twice as much fuel as you would need to. Plan accordingly. Make a shopping list and get everything that you need all in one trip. Not only will this save you money on gas mileage, wear and tear on the vehicle, but it will also save you something that is much more valuable to a person - time. Also, while you are running your errands you should avoid any unnecessary idling. If you have to wait at the drive up at the bank for a while, it is best to turn off the vehicle to avoid wasting gas and stop air pollution.

The last thing that you need to do to improve your Honda Ridgeline gas mileage is to keep up to date on the maintenance. Keep the engine tuned. Check your tires every time you fill up on fuel to make sure they have the right amount of air in them. Change the oil as often as recommended by the manufacturer. The air filters should be checked and replaced on a regular basis. Read through the owner's manual to see what all you can do to keep the gas mileage where it should be. If you notice a drastic change in the gas mileage you should take your Ridgeline into a Honda dealership and have them look to see what is going wrong.

Gm Augments Weak January Sales With New Deals

General Motors Corp. is expected to deliver a ramped-up incentive program to amplify its sales in the forthcoming months. January was not a good month for the automaker however; it is working on increasing its sales by delivering new deals that include zero-percent loans and cash.

The incentive program of the largest automaker will revive free financing and at the same time bonus cash. The zero-percent financing will run for as long as 60 months. In addition, the $500 bonus will be available on most 2006 and 2007 GM models. These strategies were considered by GM to augment its January sales, which have declined by about 17 percent.

Bonus cash will be offered by the automaker in the Midwest and Northeast. On the other hand, the zero-percent financing will be available anywhere in the United States. "It's a new thing that kind of caught us off guard," said dealer John Rogan of John Rogan Buick-Livonia. "It's a great deal. And, as dealers, we believe it will drive our market share up."

GM January sales decline is significantly caused by the intended reduction in rental fleet sales. It is also caused by a slump in consumer demand. After sharp sales decline last month, some critics question whether the automaker pulled back too distant on incentives. "We're not going to go down the path we went down before, throwing incentive dollar after incentive dollar," GM senior analyst Paul Ballew said after announcing January sales figures early this month. "But we'll do what it takes to be competitive."

John McDonald, GM spokesman, said the new incentives, which will expire on Feb. 20, do not reflect a reversal of GM's strategy to cut back on deals and discounts, but are a bid to keep customers coming into showrooms during a traditionally slow sales month. "The strategy is the same," he added. "We had planned to do this prior to the January results."

Since 2002, the incentives of the automaker in January were at their lowest – at an average of $2,365. The figure is lower than DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group at $3,853 and Ford Motor Co. at $3,502.

The new incentives imposed by GM will exclude brands like Cadillac, Hummer and Saab. It will also exclude selected models like the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and medium-duty trucks. Free financing, consequently, will be available for three or five years depending on the vehicle. It will be available only for Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. McDonald added, “Advertising will be done on a regional level and by the individual brands.”

“GM was smart to avoid a major national blitz, which would have created the impression that the automaker was going back on its less-is-better strategy on incentives,” said Tom Libby, an analyst with J.D. Power and Associates' Power Information Network. He added, “Even though GM lost some sales, the company is right to keep its discounts low, since deep discounts erode brand values and drive down resale values. It sounds like a significant program. But it's not a humungous, pull-out-all-the-stops program. If it is, they would be getting away from their strategy."

GM, founded in 1908, has global headquarters at the Renaissance Center in Detroit, Michigan, USA. It is famed in the manufacture of remarkable vehicles that served as milestones in the automotive timeline. GM manufactures cars and trucks in 33 countries. These vehicles have established a reputation for quality in the field. This is because GM parts and accessories like rotors, brakes, filters, AEM cold air intake as well as other auto systems used in the vehicles are precision engineered to serve their purpose well.

Please help if you can! 2000 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 hard to start?

My Z71 had hard starts when COLD. Dealership said Fuel Pressure Regulator. I changed the FPR and fuel filter myself and now it starts fine COLD but is hard to start when WARM. They said it is causing a "fuel foul" in the plugs and if I change the plugs, it would run fine. Thing is, I changed the plugs and wires before going to the dealership and changed the FPR and fuel filter after. Are they full of bull or could this really work and if not what do you suggest? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I read on a forum these continuing hard starts can break the mount bolts for the starter and I'm afraid to drive it now because of this? Please help if you have any ideas? If you have any ideas but need further info, please email me and I will respond. Thanks. Jerry

Depends on how long you mean when you say you just did them... like within a couple days, or last year?

If nothing else... pop out a couple plugs, and look them over... maybe clean them up... but I doubt they're the issue.

- Good Luck!

2000 Chevrolet Silverado SL review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car? Fuel filter and the ignition coils have been replaced. The drivers seat is loose and the passenger speakers don't work. I have also had the pulsating brakes on rough road situations, and she needs a front end alignment.
