Steve Faber presents Check Out These Fun Diesel Cars – High MPG / High MPH posted at super gas saver, saying, “Just because you want be green behind the wheel doesn’t mean you can’t have fun, too. Sip fuel to the tune of 40+ mpg, but don’t get bored doing it.”

I have allergies. So do my Husband and my child. We also have a long-haired dog and live in Southern California where the change of seasons is marked by the sudden strong winds of dust and brushfires.
So it should go without saying we love HEPA. Our vacuum, which is used every other day, has a HEPA filter. Our central air conditioning and heating unit also has one. And now, there is an air purifier that offers not only HEPA but is lead-free and certified not only but the Environmental Protection Agency but also by the U.S. Department of Energy.
I show you the Alen Paralda HEPA UV Air Purifier!
For asthmatics and allergy-sufferers, this thing has also been listed as the Respiratory Management’s Product of the Year. I drool, people, I drool. I wish I had one of these after reading review after review singing it’s praises.
The only reason I do not have one yet – the $499 price tag. Looks like I must long a little bit longer…

This week’s product came to my attention many moons ago via email. I can’t tell you how long I let that email sit in my inbox marked “To Do” so I could share it with you people! So what is it? It’s a SwissBike…
The amazing folding bicycle!
Lightweight, easy to store, and commuter-friendly as it folds up into a manageable size to fit in a trunk, next to you on the train, or in the hall closet once you get home. Bike commuting made easy? Yes please! Good for the wallet, the ozone layer, and the waistline.
Just beware, my dears, at $699 for the Commuter TX model it is pricier than a standard bicycle. However, if it can get you to bike to work, the store, a friend’s house? Well then, you’ll probably have it pay for itself within a few months of cut commuting costs alone, minus the price of the new pants you’ll need in that smaller size.
