7 fuel saving tips for your food truck

[MidwestRick]

...or even your everyday car.

One of a food truck owner’s regular expenses is fueling their vehicle. Most of the trucks on the road today have not switched over to electric or bio-diesel driven engines, and are still running on standard petroleum products. For those of you in the majority, attempting to cut fuel consumption can be a bit like dieting; your success depends on setting an attainable goal, implementing a plan to reach your goal, and then making sure you stick to your plan. Just as it is when you challenge yourself to lose those extra 10 to 20 pounds, improving your fuel consumption requires that you stay disciplined and in many cases, rework your everyday habits.

Although you have no control over tax rates or the actual fuel prices, we have provided a few steps you can take to help lower your overall fuel costs.

This is from my new ezine, I'd love to get your thoughts on it. Yes, it's primary purpose is to cover the food truck industry, but at the same time, I am always looking for ways to help people cut down their carbon footprint.

Thank you. You can expect to see an article on Atlanta's problems in the next few days. They appear to be running into the same problems Chicago has.

5. Mobile Cravings is a good site

But I hope to be able to do a little more than to be a directory. Right now, they are operated by a company that sells food trucks, so I believe the site is more of a front to get a database set up for future sales...not that there is anything wrong with that. :)
