Take care of your car and you will also be taking care of your wallet! Here's a few tips to help you get the most of your money while you drive. Buying a car which gets good mileage is obvious if you're in the market to replace a vehicle, if not we can all do these:


  • Keep your car engine tuned and your tires inflated to their proper pressure. This investment can save you approx. $100 per year on gas!

  • Get regular oil changes.

  • Shop around for gas. Prices can vary a lot.

  • Use the lowest octane gas recommended by your car manufacturer.

  • Avoid fast starts and stops while driving, you will have long term savings of fuel and maintenance costs.

  • Don't sit in your car for prolonged periods of time with the engine idling. (If you're waiting for someone who went in the store, turn of the engine)
