Expert advice made simple

The Internet-based car buyer's guide Edmunds.com has launched an expert section on fuel effiency, energy development and what you can do to improve your own fuel consumption.

It's really not rocket science. And that's what makes it so good. Easy-to-grasp advice in the right place. They mix hands-on information with the opportunity to build a effective but sufficient knowledge base. Or what about this very easy, down-to-earth explanation about the state of energy (which still means OIL):

Bringing this discussion down to a practical and personal level, it seems that Americans need to make several important realizations:

1. Oil is not an infinite resource.
2. Remaining supplies of oil should be used wisely.
3. Alternative sources of energy need to be brought on line soon.

Think of these issues the next time you fill up your tank or the next time you buy a car.
