Fuel Saving Tip: Car Weight and Your Michigan Driving

August 28, 2022



Weight is the enemy of fuel economy. Everyone from Wyoming knows this makes sense.

Some of us in the Wyoming area carry a bunch of unnecessary weight, and I'm not talkin' what you see in the mirror.

Lose the junk and save some money.

...And you really only need one of those spare tires.

That sickening sound when you start the ignition and instead of hearing the engine crank, you hear it slowly turn over and your dash lights go dim. There can be many reaso... More
