Sad if True: Rally champion Colin McRae dies

THE former rally driving champion Colin McRae was killed and his five year-old son feared dead in a helicopter crash yesterday afternoon. The aircraft came down in Jerviswood, Lanarkshire, half a mile from the family's home and burst into flames just after 4pm.

Very sad as he was a great driver and a great person.

"Gas-Saving" Products: Fact or Fuelishness?

"Gas-Saving" Products: Fact or Fuelishness?: "Gas prices are up, and so is the volume of advertising for 'gas-saving' products. When gasoline prices rise, consumers often look for ways to improve fuel efficiency. Although there are practical steps you can take to increase gas mileage, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns you to be wary of any gas-saving claims for automotive devices or oil and gas additives. Even for the few gas-saving products that have been found to work, the savings have been small."
