Catt - all rights reservedWith gasoline prices approaching and in some areas exceeding two and one-half dollars a gallon, many of us are finally looking into our options.

Let us take a tour of the choices.The all electric vehicle has been tried. The range of these vehicles is limited to approximately 70 miles on a charge. Recharging was easy enough just find an outlet to plug into. They required a large number of batteries along with their cost and space required for them. Recharging time was not rapid usually overnight.

Advances in battery technology need to be made before this could be a viable choice.Another option being used is compressed natural gas (CNG). This has the advantage of zero emissions. Range of current CNG vehicles is approximately 200 miles. However this still uses a nonrenewable resource and has a lack of a distribution network.At present the most popular choice is the hybrid vehicles. These vehicles have a gasoline engine and an electric motor.

They do use less fuel especially running around town. The down side is the increased vehicle cost due to the additional power plant at around three to four thousand dollars and replacement cost of batteries. American automobile manufactures are finally rolling out a couple of hybrids starting this year. The return on your additional investment compared to fuel savings over the life of the vehicle is not yet showing a positive number.The government is spending billions of your tax dollars on research into hydrogen powered vehicles. These vehicles would have zero harmful emissions.

There are several down-sides to this. One is the volatility of hydrogen and making the fuel cells safe from impact in the event of an accident. Another problem is lack of a distribution network. Use of this technology is many years in the future if at all.There is a very different approach all ready available called E85 fueled engines. E85 is a mixture of eighty-five percent ethanol and fifteen percent gasoline.

Many gasolines already contain a ten percent mixture of ethanol. Did you know that ethanol is made from a renewable resources like corn. Yes, good old American corn! Did you know that engines found several vehicles will run on E85 fuel as well as regular gasoline. Added initial vehicle cost to you - ZERO! E85 fuel does not provide as much energy output and does not quite goes as far on a gallon yet it does reduce emissions and, most importantly, reliance on foreign oil. Look for the E85 sticker on the fuel door/cap and owner's manual.

For additional information on E85 fuel, vehicles and refueling locations, visit http://www.e85fuel.com. Why is E85 fuel not more common and distributed to more stations? Simple! The oil companies don't want to lose a large percentage of their profits. Contact your elected officials and ask them to push for increased use and availability of this American alternative renewable fuel. In the meantime, here again are some tips to help you conserve fuel: Carpool, combine your errands into one trip, use the accelerator pedal sparingly, keep your vehicle tuned up and tires properly inflated.Until the litter box needs emptying again!Stand Ready (tm) brand Inverted Bottle Holder tip for the day: It is summer and time for a picnic.

Selling - Blending E-Commerce and Store Front Sales

There seems to be the misguided suggestion that e-commerce, buying orselling on the Internet, will very soon surpass regular means of retailsuch as department stores. Nothing could be further from the truth. Thee-commerce industry should check out the number of people that wanderthrough shopping malls on weekends. Is a company like J.C. Penny,Zellers or Wal-Mart closing their doors and meekly walking off into thesunset? No- they are expanding, rebuilding, renovating and opening newoutlets in an attempt to maintain and expand their customer base.Internet marketers must do the same thing.

Even though the electronicmedium is gaining increasing importance, and there are some veryimpressive numbers being put up, there is still a major concern aboutsuch things as transferring credit information and dealing with animpersonal operator attached to some keyboard across the world.

SUV Tires

SUV tires are specially designed tires, which work well in both on- and off-road conditions. Most SUV tires are wider than a traditional car tire. Compared with standard passenger car tires, SUV tires tend to have shorter lives but are designed to handle bigger impacts. All-season tires designed for all situations are the most popular form of SUV tires.

The main considerations when purchasing SUV tires are traction, tread wear characteristics, and temperature resistance.

Traction stands for the tire's capability to stop on wet pavement. Tread wear depends on the fuel economy ratings of the tire. Temperature resistance represents the tire's ability to oppose the production of heat. Proper tire pressure is the most important aspect in maintaining SUV tires. Tire-pressure monitors identify the pressure variations.

Speed ratings let us know how fast a tire is rated to perform safely at suggested air pressures.

All-season SUV tires are the most cost...
