A few of you may be getting the idea that some of the articles in the "How to Beat High Fuel Prices" series are taken straight from the web site. And your suspicions are entirely correct. On top of that, new information presented in this series will become part of the site after its introduction in the blog.
Why use information already on the site? Simple. Virtually one hundred percent of visitors to most informational web sites (including this one) go to the site for a single piece of information.
Even regular readers of the massive Wall Street Journal typically pick only one or two topics to read; and leave hundreds of pages untouched every day.
So, since fuel economy is becoming increasingly important to all of us, I'm presenting the site fuel economy pages as a weekly installment in my blog. I hope the information is as valuable for you as it has been for me.

There are hundreds of energy web pages loaded with countless tips about increasing gas mileage. You could spend endless hours going through those sites trying to digest what seems to be an endless array of dos and don’ts. I know, I’ve done just that.
As I tried to put all of that info into some kind of easy-to-digest order, I noticed that the information seemed to fall into just a few specific categories. So, to simplify things, I condensed that mass of seemingly random information into five easy to remember categories.
At first glance, those categories may seem a bit simplistic, but fundamental principals are written to be simple, and reveal important truths.
The Five Fuel Friendly Fundamentals create easy to remember categories. As you get into them, you will see more and more easy ways you can apply those fundamentals to your search for ways to beat high fuel prices.
Carpooling, as you will see, is actually part of The First Fuel Friendly Fundamental, which states that. . .

"Slugging" is a term used to describe a unique form of car pooling found in the Washington, DC area. It's unique because people commuting into the city stop to pick up other passengers even though they are total strangers! However, slugging is a very organized system with its own set of rules, proper etiquette, and specific pick up and drop-off locations. It has thousands of vehicles at its disposal, moves thousands of commuters daily, and the best part, it’s FREE!
