Simple Safety TipsDon't wait for a rainy day to replace worn wiper blades. Can you see and be seen? Check all your lights regularly to be sure. Worn spark plugs waste gas and increase exhaust emissions. They also cause the engine to run poorly. Corroded cables and a weak battery cause starting trouble. Have battery and charging system checked if the engine turns over slowly. |

Automotive TipsCarbon monoxide is invisible, odorless and tasteless. It can cause dizziness, confusion, headaches and even chest pain for some people. Very low concentrations can even be fatal and it can be found in everything from tobacco smoke to automobile exhaust. If you have any exhaust leaks, you need to get them fix immediately for that very reason. Pegboard is the undisputed champion of tool storage. Outline your tools in the place where they stay and you will be surprised how often they find their way back. Automotive finishes are thinner along edges and sharp curves. Use extreme care when polishing these areas to avoid wearing through the paint.

Car EfficiencyTime to buy a new car? Do the math and see what it'll cost you if gas costs, say, a gallon in six years. If you're like most Americans, and drive about 20,000 miles a year, increasing your car's fuel efficiency by 10 MPG can save you over a thousand bucks a year — not to mention countless stops at the gas station where you breathe fumes and stand in the rain. Our advice? Get the smallest, most efficient vehicle that makes sense for your daily driving. There are more hybrids on the market every year. And, when you really do need that Gigantisaurus SUV for loading up the family and hauling the 24-foot cabin cruiser to the beach, rent it for two weeks. |
