GetPodded.com! Save Fuel, Save Money, Save The World, And GasPods Look Cool!

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Budget conscious and environmentally active motorists can save fuel by making their vehicle more aerodynamic. GasPods are an after-market auto accessory designed to enhance the air flowing around a vehicle, reducing drag, which increases fuel efficiency.

Anyone can quickly and easily install GasPods. Simply place on about any vehicle at strategic points, such as before the front or rear windshield. GasPods are secured by 2 ultra-powerful, rare earth magnets, beneath a padded sole to protect the paint surface. Alternative models are permanently installed with auto adhesive tape.

Computational fluid analysis (simulated wind tunnel testing) by one of the world’s most respected independent engineering firms revealed that a kit of GasPods placed on a vehicle significantly reduced its drag coefficient by between 5.2% and 6.7%.

Examples of fuel savings by Test Team members, vehicle owners who have logged real-world odometer mileage and fuel purchases for a minimum of 4,000 miles, 2,000 miles without GasPods, and 2,000 miles with GasPods, on their car:

Each gallon of gas consumed releases 19.4 lbs. of CO2 into the atmosphere. If just 133 U.S. commuters, who travel an average 13,000 miles per year, reduce their fuel consumption by 5%, the volume of CO2 prevented from entering the atmosphere could fill Chicago’s Willis Tower.

If just 2% of the World’s drivers were to do the same, they would prevent 650 megatons from entering the atmosphere in just 2 years. That is equal to the U.S. Department of Energy’s goal for their main thrust carbon sequestration program by the year 2019.
