Gas Prices Out of Control
Guest Opportunity: Pam Oakes – National Automotive Authority, ASE Certified Technician and Owner of Pam‘s Motor City and author of ‘Car Care for the Clueless‘
Gas prices are soaring out of control with the national average hovering around $4.40 per gallon.
That average is almost 50 cents over the same time last year.
ASE-Certified Automotive Technician and author of ‘Car Care for the Clueless‘, Pam Oakes, is able to discuss this by answering the following questions:
- What can be done to get better gas mileage in your vehicle?
- Do different types of gas to improve gas mileage?
- Is it a good idea to just fill your tank a little at a time?
- How can maintaining other systems improve your gas mileage?
- Does maintaining correct tire pressure really do anything to improve your vehicle’s performance?
