Money Saving Car Tips

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:21:49 +0000

Today with soaring gas prices it’s more important than ever to pay attention to the little things that can help your car to run more efficiently, hence saving you money. You can turn this into a win-win situation for you and for your car.

The first tip to saving money on your car is keeping it’s engine properly tuned up. A car engine that isn’t running efficiently can use up to 30% more fuel than a car engine that is properly tuned. Follow your car manufacturers guidelines for servicing your car.

Make sure that your tires are properly inflated. Tires that are under inflated will cause you to burn more gasoline. Make sure that your tires are kept in alignment. This will help you car to handle better also.

Avoid running the engine unnecessarily. The cars of today don’t need to be warmed up in the morning like the cars our parents used to drive. Get in, turn it on, and go. If you are going to be waiting for someone, or sitting in your car turn it off.

Drive 55 mph and not 70 mph. Driving the posted speed limit can help you save up to 15% more fuel. That’s a nice saving! Also, use your cruise control when you can. This keeps your speed steady. Avoid sudden and extreme accelerations. These use fuel needlessly.

The next time you go on your errands see if you can run them more efficiently. Pick up your dry cleaning and your prescription at the same time. Don’t double back from store to store, it’s a real waste of gasoline, and time. If you don’t have to be out in peak traffic times, don’t. Wait until the traffic thins before running errands, this way you won’t be waiting in long lines to get through the lights.

Set up a car pool to help usher the kids to and from school and sporting events. Perhaps you can take Billy home this week and Billy’s mom can drop your son off next week. How about a car pool for work? We’re living in a time where people live farther from work than ever before. With the price of gas a work car pool makes more sense than ever.

Mom Can I Have The Car Keys?

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:21:24 +0000

Parents find peace of mind with high-tech vehicle tracking system

(NC)—It’s a question that makes most parents cringe. A teenager’s request to use the family vehicle can leave many parents feeling worried and anxious. Familiar doubts inevitably start filling their minds.

Will my child obey the rules of the road? Will they speed or drive dangerously? Are they being truthful in their whereabouts?

Thanks to the latest technology in interactive vehicle tracking by satellite, many parents can now feel at ease when handing over their car keys to their teenage drivers. The latest entry in the vehicle tracking industry, Canadian-based Vigil Locating Systems, has had a major impact on the problem of vehicle theft due to its unique high-tech interactive capabilities. It’s these same capabilities that have also benefited parents who can now better control how their teenage kids use their vehicle.

Vigil’s interactive satellite tracking system allows owners to locate and control their vehicle with precision directly, without intermediary, anywhere, anytime. Using the Internet site, for example, you can follow your vehicle on detailed electronic maps by means of a username and password, and operate any accessory or sensor that is connected to the unit. You can monitor speeding, driver aptitude as well as location of the vehicle. So if your son is supposed to be playing basketball at the park, but the car is mysteriously headed in another direction you will now about it instantly.

The Vigil tracking system is designed to report events automatically and in real-time, for quick response. As soon as a vehicle is put into motion without authorization, including removal by tow truck, starting with a rigged key or by short-circuiting the ignition system, an alarm signal is instantaneously transmitted to a remote Protectron Security 24-hour surveillance center. Once the center receives the signal of unauthorized movement, you receive a report of the event by telephone, cell, pager or Internet in real-time.

It allows police to take action immediately, maximizing the chance of finding the vehicle quickly, with little damage and with your personal effects still in place. Other applications include roadside assistance, road navigation in the vehicle, low battery detection, intrusion detection and excessive speed notification.

Presently, most of the major insurance companies have already recognized Vigil as a system which meets and even surpasses the requirements in vehicle tracking by granting owners a 40 percent rebate on their insurance premiums.

Mercury Muscle Car Wins in the End

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:20:47 +0000

In 1939, Ford Motor Company established a separate automobile creation within their empire and called it Mercury. At first, their intent was to build an automobile that a little bit above the Ford in class but not quite a luxury vehicle. What they came up with was the Mercury Marauder.

By the time the 1960s rolled around, the United States was wrapped up in race car driving, the new national past time. Mercury fell in line and provided the public with what they were looking for – fantastic stock cars which gave a great race. Everyone wanted to drive a Mercury stock car. World renowned Parnelli Jones got behind the wheel himself and gave Mercury a spin. In 1963 alone, the Mercury Marauder, the new stock car by Ford’s Mercury company, won no less than eight stock car titles and racing awards. Eight! In one year! Mercury was on a roll.

Never satisfied with success, Mercury decided to top itself. Less than a year after sweeping the race car driving awards, Mercury replaced the engine in the Marauder with an engine that boasted 410 horsepower. Now, the Mercury Marauder was unstoppable.

Today, Mercury continues to lure customers with a muscle-car design. In 2003, Mercury decided to create a Marauder based on their popular Grand Marquis. With a stronger frame, better suspension, improved brakes and steering, the new Mercury Marauder is more attractive and drives better than ever before. Special attention has been paid to the interior, with large bucket seats, large console, cupholders and a floor shifter.

And there is a new and improved engine, a V-8, 302 horsepower. This is the type of power and push that is expected with a traditional muscle car. No one can disagree that the Marauder is a thrill to drive!

Like many of its predecessors, the Mercury Marauder is a distinctive car that offers a unique driving experience

Mechanic reveals ways to make your car last longer

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:20:19 +0000

Every 2 weeks or 3,000 miles check engine oil, transmission fluid and coolant.

Once a month or 1,000 miles check tire pressure – with tire gauge. Check transmission fluid and brake fluid. Wax car to protect finish and a smooth finish will reduce the wind drag increasing your fuel economy. Check belts and hoses for excessive wear.

Every 3 months or 3,000 miles Change oil and oil filter or every 6 months or 3,000 miles depending on your driving habits. You will also want to lubricate the chassis check transmission fluid and check all drive belts (fan belts) replace frayed or cracked belts.

Every 6 months or 6,000 miles inspect suspension, rotate and inspect tires.

Every 12 months or 12,000 miles flush radiator, replace anti-freeze, check air conditioning system. Replace air filters and lubricate chassis.

Every 2 years or 24,000 miles replace spark plugs (30,000 miles average suggested for unleaded gas) and PCV valve. Change automatic transmission fluid, filter and pan gasket. You should also inspect brake linings at this time.

Every 3 years or 30,000 miles check and test ignition wires, test cooling system, heating hoses and drive belts, check brake shoes. (replace if needed)

Replace fluid in differential and manual transmission. (Every 50,000 miles)

If you have a major repair to do, it’s wise to get at least 3 estimates, if possible, before you decide. It’s hard to be overcharged when you get three estimates before you have the work done. Make sure you get promised repairs in writing including how much it will cost.

Read and follow your car owner’s manual – it’s your car’s bible for making your car last longer.

Whether you are a man, woman, boy or girl; you should learn to do some routine maintenance on your car yourself. A multitude of books, videos, magazines and classes are available at your local library that will teach you for free if you don’t know. Learn how to check your own oil, transmission fluid, tire pressure and coolant, etc.

If you find a good mechanic who you can trust, stick with him even if his prices are a bit higher – all things being equal. You’ll always save time, money and aggravation in the long run.
Beware: Cheapest is not always the best. Normally, the best mechanics with the best equipment and training cost more. Often mechanics that charge extremely low prices have inferior or out-dated equipment, little to no formal training or are under-insured.

Complex electrical problems are so involved that serious electrical work should be done in an “Auto Electric” shop. They have the equipment, tool and training to do the job more efficiently than the average mechanic.

Avoid car dealers except to have highly specialized repairs done that can’t be done properly anywhere else.

The best as well as the easiest ways to find a good car repair shop is by recommendation or referrals from satisfied customers.

To have work done on late model computer-controlled engines, make sure the shop you choose has the equipment to handle computer-electric service/repair. Sophisticated diagnostic equipment is a must.

To choose the right repair shop for you, it’s wise to have a small or minor maintenance or repair job done first to see how the repair shop and mechanic treat you and your car.

You should give detailed description of your car’s problem when you take it in for repairs. The more you can describe what your car is doing or not doing (thumping, squealing, clacking sound, etc.) the faster and less it will cost for your mechanic to fix it.

When in doubt about the cost of a repair or a mechanic’s honesty get a second opinion. This is one of the best ways to protect yourself from being ripped-off until you can find a permanent repair shop.

Don’t race or gun your engine when you start it up. Accelerate slowly and smoothly when your engine is cold,

Stop and accelerate gradually avoiding jackrabbit starts and stops. Avoid burning rubber it places excessive wear on the transmission and rear end, not to mention your tires.

An international tire company estimated that 33% of all tires on the road are under-inflated (low air). Under-inflated tires wear out quicker and have a tendency to blow out easier. Keep front-end aligned, for longer tire life and better gas mileage. Tires driven at 70 mph. wear out almost twice as fast as those driven 50 mph.

Avoid tailgating, tire squealing turns, flying over speed bumps, pot holes and revving your engine.

When possible, avoid driving your car during rush hour stop and go traffic periods.

If your car has “Cruise Control” use it. Using cruise control will save you 5% to 10% of a gallon of gas on long trips.

Avoid constantly pressing and releasing the accelerator when driving. This practice not only wastes fuel, but it puts excessive wear on the drive train of your car.

Don’t ride your brake pedal, this wears out your brake linings pre-maturely, and wastes fuel.

Driving with your windows all the way down at higher speeds, will waste 10% more gallons of gasoline than driving with them closed.
Research by a major car manufacturer has revealed that neglect of proper routine maintenance is the number one reason for the enormous increase in car repairs being required.

Tires purchased at department stores such as Sears, Montgomery Wards, K-Mart etc., can be an excellent value because many are made by leading tire manufacturers. When purchasing or changing tires, make sure you have them spin balanced. For a list of what manufacturer makes which tires for what department store, write to: Tire Information Centre, P.O. Box 677, Syosset, NY 11791

Avoid cleaning your windshield with a dry rag or towel. Always dampen with water or some other cleaning liquid. Dry towels grind and scratch your windshield hindering your visibility.

Avoid turning on the car air-conditioning while running at highway speeds as this tends to put an immediate heavy load on your compressor and clutch. This could cause excessive wear and tear on these components. Instead turn your air conditioner on at car speeds below 25 to 30 mph. This helps to preserve your expensive compressor.

Try to avoid running your car with the tank low on gas. Keeping a low tank of gas increases the chance of dirt, water/moisture and rust forming in your fuel system. Keeping a full tank decreases the chance of dirt and other foreign matter forming in your fuel system.

Regular oil changes are the most important thing you can do to protect your engine and make it last longer. Each time you have your engine oil checked; have your transmission fluid checked also.

If you have a manual transmission it is better to down shift to slow your car down instead of using your brakes. This will save wear and tear on your braking system.

A garaged car lasts longer. A car port is next best, and a car cover is a distant third. Protect your car’s interior and make it last longer – park your car in the shade or place a windshield guard or cover in the windshield. If you spill something inside your car, clean it up immediately before it dries. Delaying even 30 minutes can sometimes leave a permanent stain or spot. To better protect your car seats have them treated with scotch guard.

NOTE: According to current auto insurance statistics, the average U.S. car’s useful life is 10 years or 100,000 miles. By following proper preventative maintenance you can often double your car’s useful life, and spend less

Maintaining Your Tires Keeps Your Car Healthy

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:19:49 +0000

We often ignore our tires unless they’re flat. But they play a vital role in the overall condition of your car. Maintain them properly, and you’ll save money on repairs and on fuel costs.

Keeping your tires properly inflated ensures that they wear longer and can prevent accidents. Your car likely has a card or sticker attached to the door edge or the inside of the glove box door. The right amount of air your tires need is specified here. In case your car doesn’t have this sticker, you can check your owner’s manual.

Serious accidents can happen if your tires are under-inflated or overloaded. One of my tires blew-out on me and caused an accident. Luckily I was on a little traveled country road and was going slowly. I hate to think of what might have happened if I had been in major traffic.

Buy your own quality tire gauge. You can’t tell if tires are inflated properly just by looking. And the air meters at your service station may not be correct!

Ask your auto supply dealer for a tire gauge calibrated up to 80 PSI. They’ll know what you mean, even if you don’t.

Take a moment at the beginning of each month to check your tire pressure (don’t forget the spare! Uhm, you do have a spare tire, don’t you??) Check them before you get in the car to drive. Write down the actual under-inflation amount for each tire. Take this info with you to the service station.

Now measure the inflation again and record these numbers. (Don’t worry, this only takes a couple minutes.) Now inflate the tires to a level that equals the warm pressure (that you just took) plus the first under-inflation amount. (called the “cold” inflation pressure)

If the above instructions sound intimidating or confusing, take your car to a shop and give them the “cold” pressure numbers. They’ll put the correct amount of air in your tires for a minimum fee – sometimes they’ll not charge you at all.

The leading cause of tire failure is under-inflation. So make a habit to check them once a month.

Overloading your vehicle can lead to tire failure, too. Just because you have a pick-up truck doesn’t mean it can carry an infinite load.

Schedule a tire check into your calendar each month and you’ll save money, save fuel, and perhaps, even save your family from a car accident.
