Why 2012 GMC Cars are Great for Gas Mileage and for Use in 2012
Author: mconell auto
It is not a must for cars to be small in size to be fuel efficient. The advancement of the modern technology has integrated hybrid technology as well as lighter building materials into vehicles in order to make them superior in fuel economy. And, 2012 GMC cars are distinguishable in terms of their fuel efficiency and comfort of use.
The 2012 GMC cars are great for gas mileage. The cars are built using robust technology that optimizes the number of gallons consumed for every mile travelled. In 2012, GMC is granting clients the power of choice for leading fuel economy regardless of the type of vehicle they choose to purchase. Some of the GMC cars which have the best combined gas mileage are the 2012 GMC Canyon SLE1 and 2012 GMC Terrain SLE1, both rated at 22 mpg (miles per gallon) in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. Other 2012 GMC cars also have the best gas mileage rating in the automotive industry.
According to a recent survey by the Consumer Reports, an increasing number of buyers consider fuel efficiency integral in making purchase decisions. Out of the people surveyed, thirty-seven percent said that their leading consideration when purchasing for the next car would be fuel efficiency. Other factors such as quality and safety trailed behind by seventeen percent and sixteen percent respectively. Therefore, these results point out that increased fuel prices are influencing the future purchase decisions of drivers.
As such, GMC has continued to invest in cutting-edge technology to ensure its cars are as fuel efficient as possible. The United States Department of Energy estimates that the most fuel efficient automobiles can make savings of up to $1,400 in fuel costs.
As earlier mentioned, one of GMC’s cars which is best for combined gas mileage is the 2012 GMC Terrain SLE1. The vehicle is very fuel efficient and it is also one of the company’s best crossovers in terms of gas mileage. Terrain’s 2.4-liter four-cylinder is built with high tech fuel saving features, for example, direct injection. If you go for Terrain’s optional V-6, although the 3.0 liter makes much power it is still very fuel efficient. V-6 is rated at 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway – and it can be even 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway when all-wheel drive is fitted. Thus, in its quest for energy efficiency, Terrain utilizes every gallon of fuel optimally.
The 2012 GMC cars are comfortable to use. For example, the 2012 GMC Terrain SLE1is very comfortable. All versions of Terrain are built with quite comfortable seats with enough space to carry four adults. Having curtain airbags and stability control, Terrain ranks high in terms of safety scores. Other captivating features of the vehicle are that it comes with standard climate control, ambient lighting, ability of the rear seats to fold to increase storage space by up to 31.6 cubic feet, and the ‘Eco’ button to make accessories inside it save energy.

Come see why we’ve been making the best deals in Mobile since 1954 at http://www.mcconnellautomotive.com
All I want is the 75 gallon all glass aquarium and lighted hood, no extras. I want these both to be new. Also I would like to know the price of a 75 gallon acrylic aquarium. What about plexi glass. How much for the aquarium and how much for the hood?
I just want a base price. I can negotiate with fish shop owners, how low can I negotiate. How much are they at petco? I know petco has a $1 a gallon sale up to 55 gallons.
Also could you give me the dimesions of a standard 55 gallon and a standard 75 gallon.
my 55 gallon is 4 feet in length, 12 inches wide, and 20 inch high
my 75 is a corner tank so i dont have the specs on that.
Anyway lets go back to question. All glass is cheaper than acrylic, Im not sure if you know the difference, but heres alitle bit about it.
Acryilic is light, but gets damaged more easily. It is more expensive as well. Where glass is heavier, and less easily scratched.
My hood for my 55 gallon was a 100 dollars by itself. I did buy my 55 gallon new, with a double stand for 88 dollars from my lfs.
So that is just a general price range. For a brand new 75 with a hood you can expect the ball park number of 170-200, the hood being the most expensive part.
I just got a 55 gallon tank. I am making it a saltwater tank. I know some of the things i will need but Im not sure what all I need.
you need the same stuff for a freshwater set up (tank, stand, filter, heater, misc. stuff (siphon, nets, food, etc))
but you’ll also need a hydrometer or refractometer
live rock and a good protein skimmer would make your job alot eaier in the long run
if you wanted corals you’ll need better lighting than standard aquarium strip lights, a T5 light would be ideal.
but you wont need one for a while as you really shouldn’t add corals to the tank for the first 6 months to a year anyway.. allowing the tank to establish
an undergravel filter is NOT required, and generally not advised. they quickly dirty and become nitrate factories, killing fish and coral
I have a 150 gallon used glass aquarium that has all the equipment to set it up as a salt water tank. I want to sell it and the wooden stand for it, but want to know what a fair price would be.
For the tank it is usually $1 per gallon the stand is usually $.50 per gallon the filters, depending on condition and type this will vary. If they are actually used 1/2 total purchase price.
So you are looking here for just the aquarium and stand $225 plus what every you have as far as equipment. THis is a good starting point. You can go up or down from there.
1 dwarf gourami
1 angelfish
1 betta (male or female, which one?)
7 neon tetras
are all these ok to buy for my 20 gallon?
what about if i forget about the betta and angelfish and get 2 german blue rams? would that work?
No on the angelfish. The betta and gourami may fight.
Your alternate plan of rams instead of the betta and angelfish is a much better plan. Depending on your filtration, if adequate, you could even add more, like a school of small cory cat, and/or some oto cats, and/or some shrimp to keep the tank clean of algae and leftover food. Some more neons can be added for a larger school.
I bought a “29 gallon all-glass aquarium” from Walmart a year ago. I want to switch lighting fixtures but I have no idea how to get the hood open to unscrew the bulb! If you turn the hood over you see the glass and the bulb, but there are no screws or anything. I really would like to change the fixture. Thanks.
If it’s a plastic top look carefully around the edge of the glass. Mine have little nibs that hold the glass in place. I pull the plastic apart at one or more of the nibs, one at a time, the plastic moves just enough that I can get the glass out.
I just bought a 30 gallon aquarium….it came with all the decorations…plants…rocks etc….also came with a bubble tube…..a fliter and a heater and thermometer…do I need anything else? Also came with a python tube too……….. am I ready to get started?
you’ll need water and fish and chemicals
Anybody know the dollar amount that a 1 gallon glass apple cider jug full of Penny’s filled all way to rim would be?..
Thinking about using it in the penny slots on a cruise. But it weighs about 70lbs..
A dollar weighs about 1.25 pounds. I would weigh it on a scale if you have one, then divide by 1.25.
We could guess at the true contents, but the variable of how it is situated is very large.
Will you loose weight if you drink a gallon all at once.
well i know the radio station in sacramento did a stunt with drinking a gallon and the lady died
I have a blue betta fish (not sure if its a male or female) in a 1 gallon tank. The tank came with a air pump and a light. Im not using the air pump as of right now but i am the light. What all fish could I put in there with the betta and can i put a female or male and with the opposite like if its a male put a female in there and same if its a female? Thanksss(:
You can only have a betta or it’ll be overstocked.
Is it male or female? Males have long flowing fins and females don’t.
But to the point, you can’t put anything else in there. Two males will fight and a male and female might fight too.
Please don’t get any more fish or too much waste and less oxygen will be in the limited space.
Also, try to get a larger tank with a filter, maybe about 2 gallons.
When I was a little kid, I remember buying five goldfish and putting them all in a one gallon bowl to live in. When I left the house for two hours and came back, all of them were dead. Why did this happen?
Because bowls are actually entirely unsuitable for fish.
For 5 Goldfish to live a long and healthy life (they should live over 15 years and get between 8″-14″ depending on variety) you’re looking at letting them at least 20 US gallons each, with the tank to have a fully established filter designed for double the capacity of the tank.
In that bowl I would imagine you plonked them into straight tap water, no dechlorinator, which wouldn’t have been a good start. Then 5 Goldfish would have instantly started pooping and in such a TINY volume of water, that water have turned toxic within those 2 hours and poisoned the fish, burning them inside and out. The stress of all this would have killed them dead.
And this is why Goldfish can never be kept in bowls.
