Not only will this save you money on baggage fees, but it will also help you avoid having to use extra fuel to move your stuff around.
One of the best ways to reduce your impact on the environment is to pack light. On the other hand, buying high-quality gasoline results in improved fuel efficiency aside from protecting your engine’s intake valves from carbon buildup. You might think you’re saving money, but the truth is that the negative effects of cheap gas can cost you more in the long run. It’s a mistake to settle for the cheapest gasoline you can find. It may cost extra upfront but will help keep costs low in the long run since it won’t guzzle gas like other vehicles.Ĭhoosing the right type of fuel is also critical. If you decide to buy a car for your road trip, make sure it’s an efficient model. You might even consider renting a car instead of taxi or buying one-or borrowing one from someone who already has one. If possible, choose a smaller (and more fuel-efficient) car or truck to take on your journey.
Here are five easy tips to make your next trip greener.īefore you start planning your road trip, think carefully about what kind of vehicle you should take. Fortunately, there are lots of things you can do to make your road trip more sustainable. Making a sustainable road trip may seem daunting, but it’s not as hard as you think. How can I make my Road Trip more Sustainable To help the planet heal, we should all adopt a low-carbon diet. You would be surprised to know that even the simple act of avoiding disposable containers and utensils could affect the planet. Carbon footprint refers to the weight of carbon dioxide emitted as a result of a particular activity. Now more than ever, people should be concerned about their carbon footprint to lessen the damage they’re inflicting on the planet. If more people adopt sustainable practices while traveling, it will have a positive ripple effect on the planet. Traveling sustainably is important because it can offset some of the damage we do when on the road. When you travel, especially by car, there are so many activities that use resources all over the world-and things like extra flights can just about cancel out any benefits you might have at home. We know this may not be news to you-if you love nature, you already limit your impact on it as much as possible.īut taking sustainability into account when traveling can be even more important than living sustainably at home. Many of our most precious natural resources are being destroyed, and there’s no way to get them back once they’re gone. My plan is to take the seat cover off this winter and see if the seat back bracket can be cut off and discarded.Let’s face it: the earth is in bad shape already. The only complaint I have is with my wide body arse, the fixture in the seat that mounts the back rest (which I don't want/have) bites into my tailbone. The OP asked about how it works with big guys. Unless you consider 100 miles as a long day in the saddle, you'll learn that a firm seat is your friend.
Many aftermarket seats (Mustang, Corbin, etc.) feel overly firm until they get broken in. Whatever seat you purchase, make sure you give it adequate time to break-in before your judge it's comfort. That seat has sold very well for Mustang and I think it hits a sweet spot for most of us between good looks and reasonable long term comfort. Is it the seat I'd choose if I were headed out on a lengthy multi-day cross country trip? Probably not. I have done several 6-8 hour one-way trips since installing and the seat works fine. As to your question about touring, I think it depends on your definition of touring. Here's my response to another post on this subject - I run a Wide Tripper w/ pillion and I think it's an excellent seat.
