A Tip To Saving Gas In The Winter
Most of the East is blanketed in snow right now and many of us have to wake up in the morning, put on your snow boots and trek outside to warm up your car. Many people do it as they are having breakfast and let the car warm up a good 10 to 15 minutes. But is this sufficient? Are you saving gas or comfort here?
In all practicality you only need to warm up your engine a good 2-3 minutes. This is just enough time to head up the oil that lubricates your engine. Anything extra, just wastes gas. Idling your car can consume a good percentage of your daily gas quota. So instead of turning on your car and walking away to go shower or eat breakfast, consider all the gas your are wasting.
Instead, spend a couple minutes scraping ice and snow off your vehicle and then turning on your car. Wear gloves and a hat since your car will be cold when you drive out, but know that you are saving big bucks which is what you need during this recession.
Get A Motorcycle This Month
Do you want to know the best time to purchase a motorcycle? It’s when the weather temperature cools down. It may be weird to buy a motorcycle in January or February but you will get the best deals, especially after the Christmas holidays.
People seem to max out their credit cards so come January you will notice more and more used vehicles for sale. Motorcycles can top the list for being on sale. So keep your eyes out if you are interested in getting a motorcycle. Be careful of lemons though. Make sure to do your research on what type of motorcycle you want and how much you want to pay for it. It’s best to get a set of questions to ask the owner such as how was it stored during the winter? Has it been in any accidents? Has the bike been involved in racing?
