Bailout General Motors Debunk the Out-Dated 3,000 Mile Oil C
Bailout General Motors Debunk the Out-Dated 3,000 Mile Oil Change Auto Experts Debunk the Out-Dated 3,000 Mile Oil Change To help save drivers' time and money, while being environmentally efficient, auto experts are busting industry myths on car maintenance. In fact, most manufacturers recommend more than 5,000 miles between oil changes instead of the traditional 3,000.
Making this adjustment can save eight to ten gallons of oil a year and put as much as $76 back in your pocket. Following new recommendations can also help improve the environment. In some cases, just one gallon of improperly disposed motor oil can contaminate one million gallons of drinking water.
Here are some more of the most common maintenance myths that have been adjusted based on new vehicle technologies:

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 2: Military Disaster
Part 2 - Military Disaster. Enver Pasha takes personal command of the Ottoman Third Army (95,000 men) and sends it to attack Russian forces in the Caucasus. German military advisor, General Liman von Sanders, advises against a mountain offensive in winter. On December 29, 1914, the Ottoman advance is halted by about 100,000 Russian troops at Sarikamesh. Six days later, the Turks have lost 30,000 men and reel back toward the city of Erzurum. More soldiers desert or die of frostbite; more than half of the Third Army is lost.
Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs. Given the historical significance of the Ottoman Empire's demise in 1918, and the ongoing...

Who Killed The Electric Street Car?
In this excerpt from Stephen Talbot's "Heartbeat of America" (1993), Christopher Snell explains how GM conspired with oil & tire companies to kill streetcars in cities all across America in order to create an inferior bus system that would guarantee the sale of tires, gas, and bus parts for an eternity.
As Snell explains, "They would go in, buy a street railway system. They'd convert it to General Motors Buses. The General Motors busses would run on Firestone tires. And they'd be fueled by, in the east, Phillips, and in the west, Standard Oil California."
In 1947, according to Snell, the Federal Government charged GM and its partners with criminal conspiracy. The result was that GM was fined $5,000 and its top official was fined a single dollar. Compare this to the over 150 billion...

Part 6 - Iraq Expedition. The British land near Basra in southern Iraq to protect the oil fields in nearby Iran. British General John Nixon sends General Charles Townshend and his troops up the Tigris River Valley in the spring of 1915.

Biodiesel from Hemp / General Biodiesel Information
To find biodiesel retail stores near you, see the map at: http://biodiesel.org/buyingbiodiesel/retailfuelingsites/default.shtm
ALGAE is the richest producing source
of biodiesel on the planet - the world could
produce all the fuel it needs by growing algae, and converting it into fuel. Algae could be grown on giant barges, floating on the ocean.
Elephant grass is also a great source for biofuel; in fact it may be a richer producing source for biofuel than hemp.
Join the YouTube Biodiesel Group at http://www.youtube.com/group/biofuels
Feel free to leave comments here, on our future of replacing petro-fuel with biodiesel!
Ethanol is NOT the way to go, because it is mixed with petroleum fuel, which we must stop using as soon as possible, to reduce global warming.
Let's give petro oil...

Blood and Oil - Trailer - Featuring Michael Klare
http://www.bloodandoilmovie.com
Now Available on DVD
Featuring the author of Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet; Blood and Oil; and Resource Wars.
"Of course it's about oil, we can't really deny that."
Fmr. CENTCOM Commander General John Abizaid
Synopsis:
The notion that oil motivates America's military engagements in the Middle East is often disregarded as nonsense or mere conspiracy theory. Blood and Oil, a new documentary based on the critically-acclaimed work of Nation magazine defense correspondent Michael T. Klare, challenges this conventional wisdom to correct the historical record. The film unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy for more...

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 8: Iraq Revisited
Part 8 - Iraq Revisited. General Townshend's troops, besieged by the Turks at Kut, wait in vain for rescue in the spring of 1916. British forces under the command of General Aylmer try to break through the Turkish ring, but fail repeatedly. As Townshend's troops run out of food and ammunition, the situation becomes critical. On April 29th, about 13,000 British soldiers surrender to the Turks. The campaign to capture Baghdad has ended in disaster.
Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs. Given the historical significance of the Ottoman Empire's demise in 1918, and the ongoing importance of Middle Eastern oil reserves to Western economies, a close study of this...

New Engine Helps Reduce Dependence on Foreign Oil
The engine that runs today's cars and trucks, an internal combustion engine, has more or less stayed the same since it was first invented over a hundred years ago. For decades, engineers have tried to improve the engine, without significantly increasing costs.
The homogeneous charge compression ignition, or HCCI engine does just this. It runs more efficiently and also creates less toxic emissions. It does so by burning the fuel with a flameless combustion, and it's not triggered by a spark plug like the internal combustion engines are.
This is even important for hybrid vehicles, as most of them have an internal combustion engine and many of them are gasoline powered. By swapping out the existing engine with an HCCI one, it can improve fuel efficiency by more than fifteen percent. It...
