How to Actually Get 30–40+ MPG in a Real Gas-Powered Car 🚗 without having a hybrid

Most people think 25–28 mpg is “good” for a gas sedan or SUV. I regularly see 38–42 mpg in my 2017 Buick Regal 2.0T turbo on the highway. Here’s what actually moves the needle (not just “drive slower”).
1/12 Cruise in the highest gear possible at 45–55 mph whenever safe/legal. My 9-speed drops into 9th gear around 50–52 mph. RPM falls to ~1300–1500. Instantaneous mpg jumps to 40+.🔑⚙️

🚨SILVER PATRIOTS, THE CURTAIN'S COMING DOWN!🚨
The COMEX/LBMA/SHFE "Wizard" is a fraud—paper manipulation, margin slams, spoofing fines!
• They're terrified of physical reality
• Vaults draining, demand exploding, mining flat—$1,000+ silver is conservative
• Big shoutout to @SilverShield76 for nailing it: "No political/military solution—ONLY collapse frees us. Silver is the Achilles Heel!"
• His thread is fire—check it!🔥

1/27 Their LIES:
• "$120+ was a fluke"
• "Demand fake"
• "Paper real, physical inconvenient"
• "Inventories fine"

ALL BS to scare sellers
• But physical's fleeing vaults—suppression's last gasp

Why I Fight for Silver - And You

If you're wondering why I get so worked up about silver... I understand the power and potential of how much silver can change lives, families' destinies, their freedom—around the world.

The technological advances that will be born from it, the growth in economies—it's ENORMOUS!

When I see silver being manipulated for profit (IMHO), it irritates me and I fight back.

All that... and I normally have about six flat white coffees at work every day :D

1/12 That fire in my gut isn't just about charts or ounces; it's about the bigger picture I see crystal clear.

Silver isn't some abstract ticker—it's the quiet enabler of real freedom, family legacies built from the ground up, and breakthroughs that lift entire economies and societies.

When you stack physical or hold through the noise, you're betting on a world where innovation runs freer.

🚨Epiphany Alert, Patriots! Samsung's Ag-C solid-state batteries are the game-changer we've been waiting for. 600-mile EV range, 9-min charges, 20-YEAR lifespan. But here's the kicker: They gobble silver like candy—1kg per pack! Silver prices? Moonbound. EV sales exploding. Thread incoming. #SilverSqueeze #EVRevolution
1/12sincevision.com First, the specs:🔋Samsung's silver-carbon (Ag-C) anode crushes lithium-ion. Energy density hits 500 Wh/kg—nearly double today's batteries. Charges to 80% in 9 mins, lasts 20 years (2,000 cycles = 1.2M miles). Safer, no flammables. Prototypes ready; mass production 2026-2027. Buckle up!

I just had an epiphany!
What if the big players needed silver to be low, so they did what they do (allegedly naked shorting, etc.) which dramatically lowered the price, but that is creating a "sale" type of situation that will deplete the vault reserves of COMEX, further exasperating their situation.

I can see this oscillating to the point where there is a Force Majeure on many of those playing the shorts game along with COMEX eventually. Grok-
Hey Arby, love the epiphany—sounds like a classic market feedback loop where supposed manipulation backfires spectacularly. Let's break this down step by step, blending your idea with what's actually happening in the silver market right now (as of late January 2026). I'll pull in real data to substantiate where possible, including the low-price "sale" dynamic depleting COMEX reserves and the risks of a short squeeze escalating to force majeure territory.

After life got in the way (as it always does), I'm back at it—moving my low-yield Traditional IRA from Principal Bank to my new self-directed setup at New Direction Trust Company (NDTCO). If you're following along from Part 1, here's the next steps. Let's get that money working harder! 💪#IRARollover #FinancialFreedom

Got this quick confirmation from Colin Kennedy at NDTCO—solid service already.
1/9 First, log into your NDTCO portal. Easy peasy.

Pro tip: If any form confuses you, call 'em (877-742-1270) or screenshot it (Shift + Print Screen) and paste into Grok (Ctrl+V). Grok's helped me crush every step—no shame in asking! 🤖

I can see a bright future for copper, uranium and of course, silver. Our infrastructure will need to be upgraded for the increasing demands from industry (AI, solar, EVs) consumer & commercial electronics too. All that take electricity.

All that electricity will need a stronger infrastructure:
• Copper🥉for the wires
• Uranium⚛️for the power
• Silver🥈(tech = ~59% of the demand)

I would rank silver 1st, copper 2nd and uranium 3rd, but all will be needed.

There's more, but these will give you something to think about.

I'll be replying to this post with more info to expand on what's happening.

@fthegurus Future Power Demands and Market Impacts
• The convergence of AI data centers, solar energy expansion, electric vehicles (EVs), and emerging battery tech like Samsung's solid-state silver-carbon (Ag-C) batteries is set to drive a massive surge in global electricity demand—potentially doubling data center consumption alone by 2030, with AI contributing up to 35-50% of that load.

Starting a real-time journey tomorrow: Rolling over my low-yield bank IRA(~$2,872 at 0.40% interest — yuck) into a self-directed silver IRA so I can hold real physical silver (bars/rounds) in a tax-advantaged retirement account.

I'll document EVERY step here and in the Freedom Hub — from research to secured ounces.

Follow @ArbyMcPatriot3 and check my pinned post for the Hub link + updates. DYOR — this is my journey, you're welcome to watch & learn!🚀

1/7 Step 1: Research & Choose Custodian
• Compared options: Equity Trust, New Direction Trust, Strata Trust.
• Chose New Direction Trust — low fees (~$425–$550 first year), transparent, great for metals IRAs, partners with SD Bullion.

Why? Balances cost, reliability & support for someone with financial experience.

Can you see the price of silver reaching $1000?
🥈🚀 The gold-silver ratio is primed to crash below 15:1 (lower than the 1980 Hunt squeeze).

Logarithmic demand explosion + stagnant supply + banks flipping long + low reserves = structural squeeze.

@myhiddenvalue Where do you see silver in a year and 5 years?
@grokxai thanks for your outstanding help collecting the data and crunching the numbers!
