WARM IDEAS FOR COLD WEATHER.


The cold has struck most of the country and now is the time to change some habits,although running the car fifteen minutes in the morning means your not cold it does eat up allot of gas over a five day work week. I would like to bring to your attention that most modern cars are made to be warmed up while driving, and you could save around a 1/4tank of gas in a months times by not warming the car up for long periods in the morning. If you happen to live in the areas of extreme cold consider a oil heater or anti-freeze warmer,their sold in most automotive stores and some retailers. I have stated alot about keeping your car in good shape, I would suggest that just in case of a flat or random breakage you have the right materials on hand to make it through a cold weather break down. The list is simple but quite effective first have several warm blankets,gloves,flashlight(s),flares,good jack,extra spare tire and a cell phone to ensure your rescued. This list might sound like a no brainer but how much of it is in your car or truck? Well thats all till next time,drive slow and safe!
