The cost of fuel has to be a big part of any consideration you give to buying a new car. It was only a year ago that fuel cost as much as $4 a gallon in some areas. The economic meltdown brought the cost down, but it is rising again as things slowly improve.The United States car market is primarily based on gasoline powered vehicles. Diesel fuel is used primarily for larger cargo trucks and the like. Well, this is beginning to change. Diesel consumer cars are very popular in Europe. The reason? They get better mileage than gas driven cars.As fuel prices have risen in the United States, diesel cars have started to make a comeback. From Volkswagen to BMW, the idea of driving a diesel is becoming much more attractive given the mileage you can get. A 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, for instance, can get up to 50 miles per gallon of diesel fuel. That is more than many Prius hybrid models will do with gas.Ah, but does this miles per gallon advantage that diesels have make them the obvious choice when you are considering a new car? Well, not necessarily. There is a second issue you need to consider when it comes to fuel cost. The issue is simply the cost at the pump. Diesel used to be much...more

Today they are relatively cheap to pick up and serve as great bikes for getting around town or getting to and from work.The Yamaha XJ 650 was and still is a very useful bike that can be picked up for less then two thousand dollars. This bike is great for any one looking to test their hand at fixing up an old bike. The engine feels weak wile in the lower RPMs but that is due to the in line 4-cylinder. The breaking is very weak and is definitely one of the first things that needs to be upgraded. Other then the breaking there are usually only 3 things that to be done. The oil needs to be changed, spark plugs changed, and new air filter.The Yamaha XJ 700 offers a little bit more powerful engine with 86 horsepower.
