    New Gas Price Finder
    Gas Pump

    We've noticed another web site that monitors gas prices. Just type the zip code where you live or work and you'll get a map with stations numbered in order of price. The lowest price is shown by a green pump and the highest by a red pump.

    Unlike web sites that rely on consumers to submit data, this site gets price information through actual credit card transactions collected from Fleet Vehicles. It's still not instantaneous; but it can help you find nearby stations that are most likely to have lower prices.

    Road Construction Reports

    Here's a service by AAA that tracks highway construction zones throughout Michigan. The listings are divided into regions, so choose West to get a list of road construction projects and dates in West Michigan.

    Car Rental Tips

    If you're going to be renting a car this summer, here are some important things to consider before you make your reservation.

    Type of Women a Vehicle Attracts
    Deanna Lorraine

    What do women think about the cars men drive? In this article a dating expert says a man's vehicle sends messages about his character that women immediately pick up on.

    Given five popular vehicles often driven by men, she creates a profile that represents each vehicle's personality traits. Then she describes the type of women attracted by that vehicle.

    Is this just stereotyping? Or do her descriptions fit anyone you know?

    Great, Safe Year Round Vehicle
    2004 VW Passat

    Our featured car this month is a 2004 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLX 4 MOTION, ALL WHEEL DRIVE. When it was new, the editors of Edmunds.com voted this car the Most Wanted Sedan Under $25,000. And 164 owners have given it an average rating of 8.6 on a 10-point scale.

    Edmunds Editor: "The Passat's German heritage is obvious on all fronts - it's both fun to drive and smooth-riding on the highway. Inside, the Passat offers high-quality materials and an upscale feel other sedans in this class are lacking."

    This extremely clean specimen has just 45,000 miles. It has heated seats, power seats, keyless entry, and a power sunroof. It's a great, safe year round vehicle. The car has a clean CarFax and service is all up to date. You get the remainder of the factory warranty and an extended warranty is available up to 100,000 miles. Call Joe or Phil Licari to arrange a test drive or just come in. Priced at $16,900.
