In honor of this new website - one of many by me if you'd like to explore my profile, you'd only find about a 1/4 of what I've made and taken the time to market, for traffic, not necessarily money - anyway ... in honor of this new blog, where I've promised myself more creativity and less strict creation that matches the concepts that lets you get found on Google - I'm freelancing these skills, feel free to email me if you'd like to pay for plenty of Search Engine Marketing (SEO) tricks, and I've mentored enough students to know that I can teach the skills, but I digress! (I love to digress, thus the more relaxed blog!) The main point: CAR MPG.
What have I learned about the car's mpg (miles per gallon) lately? You can't believe Mythbusters with everything they say. I have data that proves otherwise, and I read a great article online that matches my results exactly, though he has 50 years of experiments proving it, while I just have an about 800 mile trip where it worked great in a Toyota Sienna. The article in question? Acetone in gasoline! On a few occasions, but all the car mpg advice I've EVER given has a tendency to need the old phrase, "Individual results may vary." Because, I admit in the article where I've seen and appropriate amount of acetone in gasoline: 1 to 4 ounces per ten gallons, depending on the vehicle and how you drive depends on how much you put in, and it doesn't work at all in some cars. I give Mythbusters, unlike my colleague's website, (colleague in the sense that he studies the same thing as me, not that we know each other nor do I remember how to get to his website! If I find it I'll share - he has great data!) I give Mythbusters the fair chance that acetone in the gasoline decreased that car's mpg. My colleague suggests that imperfectly timed engines will make acetone do worse, but in my car, I'm sure that it was because the fuel injectors did all too well, making my beloved mpg dive out the back of the exhaust at 4 times the rate it should - ten, not 40 or 50 mpg on that trip! Argh!

Haven't had enough? I wrote my first internet article once to try to encompass as much as possible the most basic things I knew to better the good 'ol mpg. See: Car or Truck Miles Per Gallon. Note: It's changed gently over the years to be up to date, be smoother, and link to a few more articles.
Two days ago I wrote a new blog. The Truck Miles Per Gallon. The perfect companion to this website: The Car MPG. That new website picked up a lot of traffic early and fast!

Correction: noticed I'd said the 800 miles was in a Toyota Avalon, but it was a Toyota Sienna, a van. I knew that! :)
