New Alternate Fuel Auto?

I'm considering switching to an alternate fuel car, but I have heard that the car I own may be able to handle alternate fuels, how do I find out?

What most people don't realize is that if the car they own is less than about five years old, it is probably already equipped to handle an alternate fuel like ethanol. Those with diesel could also use biodiesel. The best way to know for sure and to determine if any minor changes in the computer programming of your cars engine is required, is to take it to a local mechanic and ask them. They will be able to tell you. A lot of vehicles will require a slight change to the computer programming that regulates the gas/air mixtures for optimum efficiency, but some require no change at all. Here are some articles that will help you find out if you have a FFV (Flexible Fuel Vehicle) and things to consider when buying a FFV.

Also, you can check out what kind of updates our friends over at Pacfuel.com , Ethanol-news.com and Fuel Saver 5000 may have relating to FFVs as well as plus and minuses of various fuel types.

Web Hosting Question

I'm thinking about starting a web site but have never done this before. What things should I consider when choosing a web hosting site? I'm sure there are all kinds of them and all kinds of deals out there, which web host would be good for me.


You are correct, there are a lot of options when choosing a web host provider. Since you didn't indicate what kind of site you are wanting to start I'll throw several articles to you to help you evaluate your needs. A lot of it comes down to if you're just wanting to dabble, then a free quick start site is the way to go. If you are wanting an online mall or business site then paid hosting is the way to go as you'll have more up time, more bandwith and a more reliable site. Take a look at these articles and see if they get you where you need to be. If you have more questions, drop me a line.

These should give you the basics to consider. Main thing is don't be affraid to contact the web hoster with questions. If they won't answer your questions and give you a comfortable feeling with their customer service, then you will probably get the same treatment when you are a customer and need help. Good customer service and communication is essential.
Good Luck,
