| Gas Saving while driving Some
people shy away from their top gears, fearing the danger zone. Nonsense! When
you're up to speed in a manual or automatic vehicle, the overdrive gear is the
most efficient operating gear. Using it saves your fuel economy versus using
standard drive.

| How to remove gum from carpeting
There are many schools of thought on the right way to remove gum from
carpet floor mats in your car. Some say peanut butter is the only way to get the
job done, and others swear by the old ice cube technique. We prefer the
garage-inspired WD-40 method. First, spray the gum with a bit of WD-40. Next,
give it a few minutes to penetrate deep into the root of the gum. Then, scrape
the gum off with a sturdy blunt object (spoons work wonderfully). Lastly, clean
the surrounding carpet with a bit of warm soapy water or upholstery cleaner to
remove any residual WD-40. |
| Battery A fully charged battery should measure about 12.3 to 13.2 volts with your engine off. The capacity of a battery drops as the temperature drops. The two main ratings on a battery are cold cranking amps and reserve capacity. There are still some battery types that require adding water. It is important to keep the terminals clean not only for starting, but so the charging system can work properly.
