Everyone nowadays in the whole world is looking for every possible way to reduce the fuel costs for the operation of their automobiles. People are actively evaluating which gasoline service station lists the lowest price and patronize them and vehemently avoid the non competitive gasoline service stations. New car shoppers are taking the published miles per gallon data for the new vehicles very seriously prior to settling down with their choice. Hybrids are selling like hot cakes and smaller four cylinder cars are selling faster than the bigger SUVs and trucks. All this change is fueled by the high price of gasoline and the need to get more mileage for every gallon of petrol purchased.

However, what is amazing is the fact that people seem to have neglected a very simple factor but one that is very seriously taken by aerospace engineers, designers and the airline industry to cut down on fuel consumption. Every single component that is designed for the aerospace world needs to meet this criteria and every single airline operator addresses this factor and yet the common man driving his car and is looking to reduce fuel consumption does not even care about this very simple factor. That is the factor of WEIGHT control. Every single item that is inside your automobile that is contributing to weight is a load on the engine and it takes energy and therefore fuel to move it from point A to point B. Thus for example, if you have a family minivan that you take to commute to work, see if the spare seat can be taken out when not being used and you have instantly reduced the dead weight of your vehicle by sixty or seventy pounds as a minimum. What about those sand bags and other miscellaneous items that was put in the trunk for improved traction last winter that is still riding around in your car. That is extra weight that is consuming fuel. Get rid of everything that is adding weight to the vehicle without producing results and you cut down on fuel consumption. Another important factor is running with the full tank of gas. It costs fuel to haul this full tank of gas that might be thirty gallons or so. Fill up smaller amounts of fuel and fill up more often. Why is fuel being spent to carry fuel. The airline industry uses this method all the time to reduce fuel consumption and it is time for the ground based fuel consumers to use this too. People carry baby seats in the car when the baby is really at home and that causes extra fuel consumption. Leave the baby seat where the baby is and use it in the car only when the baby is in the vehicle. I have seen golf clubs being left in the van and being hauled around for no reason. Remove the racks on the roof of the car when not using. Essentially, weight awareness and weight control that is extensively used in the aerospace world can produce reduced fuel consumption in ground based vehicles too.
