1. Smiles per Gallon

Owning two SUVs and also wanting a major improvement in fuel economy, the Eubank family asked, “What should our next car be? Should we buy now, or wait?” Their needs included transporting several kids and an aging parent in safety and comfort. In the end, they bought a fuel-efficient hybrid car and changed their lifestyle.

Bob liked the safety of their current SUVs. His safety concerns were increasing as his daughter, Meili, approached driving age. As a protective father, his first instinct was to get a Hummer, or at least an armored-plated Volvo station wagon. Meili, an “A” student who had written papers about the environment, liked the idea of an electric car. Her brother Tai, who also cared about the environment, said his favorite vehicle was his bicycle.

Weihong, as a busy mother and business owner, weighed practical issues such as having room for several people, school stuff, sports equipment, storage boxes for their businesses and more.

Bob and Weihong are parents who want their children to have great education and a childhood rich in opportunity and positive experiences. They also want their children to have a secure future. Without sacrificing safety or vehicle needs, the Eubanks now live in better harmony with their values about energy security and being environmentally friendly.

The Eubanks have doubled their miles per gallon and tripled their smiles per gallon.

The book is empathetic with people who need bigger vehicles, smaller cars, SUVs, trucks, and minivans. Real-life stories show that people can dramatically cut their payments at the pump.
