Taking care of your CAR
I don't think people think about taking care of their cars as a way to save money day to day, but it will all add up. Thankfully I have a husband that does all this for me. Some of these are obvious, but some may be new information for you!
*Change your oil regularly--you knew that, right?!
*Rotate your tires. We get our tires at Tire Discounters and they do this for free.
*Fill your tires with nitrogen. This is Michael's number one tip. It lasts longer.
*Make sure your tire pressure is what it should be. This will effect your gas mileage and if it's too low or too high, they won't wear evenly.
*If you are carrying some junk in your trunk--empty it out. The lighter your car is, the better fuel efficiency you will get.
*Try to stay at a constant speed when driving. This will help with your fuel efficiency too.
Yep, Yep and yep..it helps I"m married to a technician :) He's very anal about taking care of our cars and we've never had major costly issues with our cars..ever! :) Good tips!
