As all of you know, the buzz around town--in every town in America--

is gas prices. Everybody is trying to think up ways to "get back

at the gas companies" and save a few dollars at the pump.

There are really only 4 things you can EASILY do to improve your fuel mileage:

1. Drive the speed limit - try it, I promise you will see an increase in fuel mileage.

2. Use the proper weight engine oil - thinner oils are more fuel efficient.

3. Drive a more fuel efficient vehicle. Let's be honest...did you buy your vehicle

because of its fuel efficiency?? Maybe you can trade it in on a more efficient model?

4. Check your tire pressure - under inflated tires drastically decrease fuel economy.

The link to this issue's article is below, but before you click

over, I'm going to give you an important homework assignment:

   Some time in the next three days, check the tire pressure for

   every tire on every car in your family. Yes, under inflated

   tires can really affect your gas mileage, but more importantly,

   over or under inflated tires can be a serious safety risk.

   I checked the tires on my car yesterday before my wife took off

   in it--just because one looked a little low. I couldn't believe

   it when I found out that the other three were WAY over inflated.

   I'm a real stickler about car maintenance, and I really don't

   know how it happened. I don't know if someone put too much air

   in during a maintenance check, or if I just "eyeballed" them at

   the air pump, but it happened. And if it happened to me, it can

   certainly happen to you.

So write yourself a note right now, and get it done in the next

few days--today if you can.

And here's the article:
