,…now that you know the new rules and can retrofit your car with a new instrument showing its momentum (also called inertial mass or kinetic energy), you need to change the fundamental way that youthought about driving your car. Throughout the rest of this e-book, I’ll try to share with you some specific strategies to save thousands of our hard earned money and taking a historical step toward becoming Energy Independent by simply changing the way we drive.
Every Country possesses a transportation system. In the USA, the cheap gasoline and apparent abundance of the past twenty years made transportation by roads affordable to the detriment of airplanes and trains. We Americans consume today a third of the planet’s oil reserves because we thought until now and acted like fossil oil was an unlimited source of cheap energy.
As our economy is depending on the price fixed by foreign oil providers we begin to behave like adults and many are adapting to the rigors of the reality by learning the efficient driving process. At the same time, new rules are emerging as the price of oil continue to sky rocket.
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, all energy dependent countries are searching for the elusive key to success. Well, look no further: Moment-O-Meter will promote energy independence for any vehicle in any transportation category, even in highly competitive industries where smaller players are beset upon by larger, better-funded competitors.
The New Rules of driving:: How to use momentum instead of fuel to move your car?

I am a retired aeronautical engineer. In the fall of 2004, my daughter who is a teacher in Atlanta, Georgia was complaining about the price of the gasoline and I advised her to visit the US Department of Energy web site where she would learn about how to drive efficiently. She tried to follow all the tips but her MPG did not increase. While we were discussing this, I entered the phrase “efficient driving” on my Google search engine to see if there was anything easier I could recommend her. The highest ranked listing for this phrase on Google was from the State of Michigan web site listing numerous common sense tips for Energy Efficient Driving. What was most interesting was that the link pointed to a single boring web page not containing one single exciting or new tip:
Combine trips for shopping and errands; Avoid unnecessary trips. Use the telephone or e-mail to communicate. For short trips, walk or ride a bike. Join a carpool or use public transit to and from work or school; Don’t idle the car for more than one minute; Drive the speed limit, or below, for better mileage; Overdrive gears improve the fuel economy of your car during highway driving; Avoid sudden bursts of speed, tailgating and pumping the accelerator pedal. Gradual starts and stops result in less fuel use and less wear and tear; Out on the open highway, keep windows rolled up to reduce drag; Using a vehicle’s air conditioner on a hot summer day can decrease mileage; If it’s cool enough, use the flow-through ventilation on your car instead of the air conditioner; Travel during off-peak hours when possible; Take the shortest route with the best roads; Use the cruise control -- it can save fuel by maintaining a steady speed; Keep tires at the recommended air pressure; Keep your car engine properly tuned; Remove bicycle and ski racks when not in use; Excess weight uses more fuel. Remove unnecessary items from inside the vehicle, trunk or truck bed; Use the lowest octane gasoline recommended by the manufacturer; When buying a new car, make fuel efficiency a priority.
Then I decided to attempt to build an instrument showing her the momentum of her car as simply as possible because I did not want her to be diverted from the driving. The rest is history. A of today Moment-O-Meter is manufactured here in the USA and aimed to change vehicles fuel energy consumption forever. How cool is that?
Three years of Research &Development provided me with the great satisfaction of having developed a patentable “inertial mass detector indicator device for vehicles” (patent pending) that I call “Moment-O-Meter” because people are already familiar with the term Speed-O-Meter showing their car’s speed. I believe they will have no problem to understand that Moment-O-Meter shows their car’s momentum.
After being satisfied with the prototype’s performance, I decided to test it on my own car and other cars I would rent for the purpose of collecting more data. I learned that Moment-O-Meter allowed me to outperform the results obtained by the US DOE Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, especially in town.
Imagine the number of gallon of oil saved from one car – mine.
Now multiply this by 239,000,000 and you will have the solution to our energy independence because if we save fuel collectively, most of foreign oil will become unnecessary. We need to let millions of people know about Moment-O-Meter through this free e-book using word-ofmouse. More than ten thousand people will read about Momentum-O-Meter in the coming months. But I am just one person – imagine how many other people have the same need to learn the new rules of driving.
