As Gas Prices Soar!

With gas prices on the rise, every change you make to cut back on gas will help.

IN THE CAR
Don't fill until the last quarter tank. If you do this, it can extend your gas because you are hauling a lighter load as the tank nears empty. This also allows you to buy gas on low-cost days. Click on link for more details Save Money on Gas.

Roll your windows down while driving around, but if you are going more than 45 mph, turn on your AC. Your car windows provide wind resistance and actually decrease your engine's efficiencies at higher speeds. Click on link for more details Ideal Bite/Car.
