Gas Saving Tip - Right Turn on Red & Put Car in Garage is very Important

Each of us want to save as much gas as possible. With these high gas prices this tip might be right up your alley. Read more . . . .

You can save on your gasoline, and contribute to the long life of your car's engine by taking advantage of "right turn on red" laws. After coming to a complete stop, if the way is clear, turn right on that red light and keep moving. Unnecessary idling time spent at red lights waste your fuel and that of the cars behind you. Cut idle time and you cut carbon and sludge buildup also.

Another trick we use at our home is putting the car in the garage every day, if at all possible. Those few seconds I take putting the car inside literally means years of extra life for my vehicles. I feel it's a cardinal sin of being too lazy to pull the car inside.

I tell my wife all the time that by parking out front and then going back outside to start the car up (engine running again) wears on our cars. 90 to 95% of engine wear occurs in the first 10 seconds after starting the engine. By merely driving the car into the garage you have accomplished the equivalent of 500 miles from the viewpoint of mechanical engine wear - the actual removal of metal that occurs when engine parts are temporarily devoid of lubrication and metal meets metal.

If you have any comments or suggestions I would love to hear from you. Use the comment section below. With the high costs of everything these days, taking care of your car is very, very important, as without it, you might be walking or depending on others to get you around. Take this advice and you'll be fine. Thank you for your time today.
