| Dear Subscriber, |
Thank you for reading our newsletter and for being a faithful Dick Scott customer. Many of you have written and asked what happened to August's Newletter. A couple of us actually took some vacation time which means the work piled up. Since we were quite busy with other things that needed our attention, sadly, the newsletter was not sent. In this issue we have included both this month's and last month's Employee Spotlight. Enjoy! |
| Employee Spotlight |

Bill attended Schoolcraft College and MOTECH. He lives in Plymouth with his wife Patty and their two cats, Freckles and Merlin.
In his free time, Bill enjoys reading books by Clive Cussler and W.E.B. Griffin, and spending time with his two "fantastic" grandchildren, Michael and Natalie.

Currently, Bill drives a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee but he would love to own the original HumVee one day.

He has been a great asset to the Service Department at Dick Scott Kia and to our Dick Scott Automotive Group Family! If you ever have a question about your vehicle's maintenance, he is the one to ask. Thanks Bill for all that you do; you are an important member of the Dick Scott "Best Shot" Team!

| Fuel Saving Tips |
Everyone in America is feeling the pinch at the gas pump. With gas near $4 per gallon we are all looking for ways to save money and make our fuel budget stretch. Dick Scott has you covered. Try these fuel saving tips:
Observe The Speed Limit - Each 5mph you drive over 60 costs you $0.20 per gallon for gas.
Remove Excess Weight - This affects smaller vehicles more than large vehicles but the general rule of thumb is every extra 100 pounds in your vehicle will cost you 2%. At $4/gallon it costs you $0.08 per gallon.
Avoid Excessive Idling - You get 0 mpg when you idle.
Use Cruise Control - It helps you maintain a constant speed and will save you gas.
Use Overdrive Gears - If you have an automatic transmission, make sure you use the over drive gear.
Keep your Engine Tuned - Engines that are out of tune cost you 4% at the pump
Check and Replace Air Filters - Replacing a clogged air filter can improve your gas mileage by 10%.
Keep Tires Properly Inflated - 1 psi drop costs you 0.4% and it can add up quickly.
Keep Your Oil Changed - Not only will it make you engine run longer but it'll save you at the pump.
