Thanks for Your Referrals
Greetings!
 
     This May 23rd my parents Charles and Lorraine Wallin celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary.  I couldn't be more happy for them.  In this day and age of growing marriages that end in divorce, it pleases me to know there are still folks like my parents who have learned to truly "stay in love."  My parents raised 5 kids and my dad often worked 2 jobs to put food on the table.  It was a big treat when they would take us to the old Red Barn Restaurant in Buffalo once a month for a burger and a milkshake.
 
   As members of the Wallin Insurance Agency I'm learning more and more about the importance of keeping you as my client, and treating you like family. Just like my parents taught me, I need to be honest, work a hard day and bring value to our relationship.  I can't just assume that you'll stay married to our agency forever. 
 
   Insurance has become more and more complicated than it was a generation ago when I first began in this business Thanks to frequent and frivolous lawsuits, there is more uncertainty with everything we do.  It is my hope and intention to provide you the protection and advice you deserve, and do it at a very reasonable rate. 
     If you ever have a question or simply want to talk about your insurance, shoot me an e-mail at Peter@WallinInsurance.com or call me at the office 607-734-8799 or my cell 607-857-6197.  I look forward to our conversation. 
 
Sincerely,
Peter Wallin
 

Keep Your Driving Costs Down

This Summer

 

 

With summer here many of us are thinking about taking a road-trip or a vacation.  However, fuel prices are so high that it may seem impossible to keep your traveling expense affordable. Don't despair! There are some tried and true tips for you to take that trip and still have some spending money when you get there!

 

·   Check your tires. Under-inflated tires are a safety hazard and will reduce your fuel economy. Be sure to check your tire pressure before you start a long trip.

 

·   Lighten your load. More weight translates to lower gas mileage. And although you have to pack for your trip you should clean out unnecessary items before you load the trunk.

 

·   Go cruisin'. If your vehicle is equipped with Cruise Control use it! One website (www.edmunds.com)  states that using cruise control at highway speeds can save you an average of 7% overall!

 

·   Windows vs. air conditioning? The myth that using air conditioning will ruin your fuel economy has been busted! Several studies show that overall using your air conditioning has only a negligible effect on your gas mileage. The same is true for driving with your windows down. Yes, it creates drag, but the effect is so small it just doesn't have an impact.  So use what is comfortable and don't worry about the temperature.

 

·   Keep it steady. Rapid starts and stops will ding your wallet and it isn't safe. Try to avoid revving the engine or accelerating too fast from a stop. It wastes fuel and is unnecessary. In city driving it's almost impossible to avoid frequent stops so try to avoid "Business Loops" while on your trip.

 

·   Obey the speed limit. Drivers who consistently drive over the speed limit are losing between 15 and 98 cents per gallon! That can really add up so take your time and follow the speed limit.

 

There's no reason to cancel your vacation or to finance it with a second mortgage. You can still enjoy those weekend road-trips and those Route 66 vacations if you plan ahead. So put the top down and turn the radio on!
