You can't change the price of gasoline, but you can change the way you use it -- and make every drop count.
Skyrocketing gas prices have fueled an even greater demand for electric vehicles. Southern California dealers specializing in electric and hybrid cars say better fuel economy just isn't cutting it anymore.
Those tire pressure monitoring systems in newer cars are fine, but don't wait until you see a light on the dashboard. Check tires the old-fashioned way, with a tire pressure gauge. They're available at any auto parts store Recommended pressure is usually located on a decal in a car's door jam. And be sure to check tires in the morning when they're cool, for accurate readings.
And don't forget other car maintenance. Cars may seem"maintenance-free" these days, but everything from air filters to spark plugs can affect gas mileage if they've been untouched for too long. Sure, we're only talking about two or three miles per gallon for all these things. But that could mean going an extra 20 to 50 miles on a tank. And considering what a fill-up costs these days, those miles per tank are worth a lot more than they used to be.
