Fuel prices rises every time whether in India or any other country. Now important thing is that save Fuel if you want to use it for long time.

I am explaining about How To Change Your head lamp
Step 1: Set Up
There are two types of headlights: Old school sealedheadlamps and more modern component headlights with an unfixed bulb. Be sure to off-ramp your headlight switch in car.
Step 2: Older Light: Remove Retaining Rings
If your car has been a sealed headlight, remove the screws and molding around the headlight. Locate the 2nd retaining ring and remove those screws. This should be free the headlight.
Step 3: Unplug
Pull headlight softly forward and unplug the power cable attached to the back of the lamp.
Step 4: Let There Be Light
Plug new headlamp into power socket, restore the two keeping ring, molding and screws.
Step 5: Component Headlights: Remove bulb
If you have a component headlight, reach behind the headlight assembly and carefully remove the burned out bulb by rotating or unscrewing the socket.
Step 6: Replace New Bulb
Now Place new bulb into the socket, without touching bulb directly with your fingers.
Step 7: Retighten Assembly
Retighten the bulb fastener to the bulb assembly.

I am explaining about How to Replace a burned-out headlight on your car. Cars will have one of two designs: On some cars, you replace only the small headlights inside the larger glass head lamp, and on other cars, the inner bulb and larger headlamp are one piece that must be replaced.

Over reliance upon low mileage vehicles makes the Big 3 vulnerable to high gas prices. Consumer Reports tested the Camry Hybrid and came up with 34 MPG (24/41), pretty good for a full sized sedan with zip. You will note the Big 3 has nothing on the market to even offer as competion.

Nothing inspires innovation like panic. That was the conclusion Burt Rutan came to in his early years of aerospace design. And, the incentive to build highly efficient cars has never really experienced that level of sustained panic until now. It’s the designer’s responsibility to rise to fulfill the need.

Vince is the only sensible one of you lot..
If American manufacturers could do it before, they
sure can do it now ,IF they only had the kick in the
backside to DO it. There are enough low weight batteries now developed to make a SUPER hybrid
MULTIFUEL vehicle ..

Jerry -

(a) I do NOT advocate giving more money to Congress. 100% of any revenue due to any increase in fuel taxes should go to income tax credits. It's simply a shift in how taxes are raised, NOT a change in the total amount.

(b) The Dodge Magnum is a truck. The Subaru Outback is a wagon. The PT Cruiser is a compact car. By all means rant but rant correctly please.

(c) As for CAFE, it's a joke in part because the Big Three lobbied for and got a loophole related to E85: any FFV will be counted as running on gasoline half the time and on E85 the other other half (bogus assumption #1). When on E85, only the 15% gasoline are counted (bogus assumption #2). The ethanol is presumed free (bogus assumption #3) and its production is assumed not to require any fossil fuel (bogus assumption #4). It is because of this loophole that Detroit was able to build millions of additional trucks and SUVs without falling foul of CAFE or paying gas guzzler taxes.

Raise taxes so the idiots can continue mismanagment of our tax dollars. I don't think so.
Market forces will eventually fix this because China and India will continue to use more oil and before you know it it will be $5 a gallon. The stupid infighting will continue to leave use vulnerable. New Hampshire's Sununu at a congressional hearing " I don't think a family purchasing a Minivan with 22MPG vs 28MPG is a national security issue" What leadership! A 27% increase in fuel economy would n't be helpfull! Well since 1 out of every 7 barrels of oil in the world is used for US transportation I would have to disagree with Mr Sununu.
Cafe is a joke-Dodge Magnum, Subura Outback, PT Cruisers are trucks to keep the company Cafe lower. I love these cars but give me a break. Classify them correctly.
I think Toyota is going in the right direction. The Hybrid Camry finally allows a large family car for higher mileage vs power of the Honda Accord Hybrid.

I feel much better after this little rant : )

Rafael, you are probably the one who doesn’t understand economics and it’s political ties. You probably have me hands down on environmentalist issues but you are dead wrong on taxes. If there is zero chance of enactment then you are the one emotionally tied to higher taxes for your environmental gain. The facts are huge Tax credits are already given for hybrids and solar and Congress has pushed for elimitation of gas taxes not more.
I remain hopefull that increased investment in new technology and alternative fuels with gain eponentially in market share my company is actively pursuing both.
