Spring has arrived early this year! There is just something about warmer days and more sunlight that improves our mood. We enjoy being outside and we begin to shake off the lethargy of winter with all sorts of projects...inside and out.

Your car feels much the same way. It's the time to do a little Spring Cleaning with your vehicle, too. Regular vehicle maintenance is the key to holding the value of your vehicle and to how economically your vehicle runs, saving you money at the gas pump now and down the road avoiding major system failures. We spend a lot of time in our cars and trucks, so we need to keep them clean and running their best. If you carried around extra weight in your vehicle during the winter months for better traction, now is the time to clean that out and lighten the load for better fuel economy. And see all of that pollen on your cars and porches...it's in the air being pulled through your car engine and into your passenger compartment. So if you did not make it in during March to have your filters replaced, don't let it slide another month. Both your health and your vehicle's health depend on it!

 Also in this edition, you will find some quick tips for saving on your gas expense, plus links to some sites with more detail. All of the small things add up!
