Save on car costs Four simple suggestions


Y


ou depend on your car, and you take good care of it. But you don’t have to throw lavish amounts of money at it to get where you need to go. Take heed of this money saving advice to save on basic maintenance and operation.


Don’t change the oil more than you need to. Check your owner’s manual. In the past, many manuals recommended an oil change every 3,000 miles. These days it’s more likely to be 5,000 to 7,500 miles.


Avoid premium gasoline unless it’s necessary. Fuel is expensive enough. High- performance engines may call for premium brands exclusively, but most cars will run just fine on regular gas.


Stick with normal tires. Don’t let dealers talk you into super-grip performance tires unless you drive a sports car and really need them. Most high-performance tires are more expensive and don’t last as long as regular tires.


Use your smart phone. You may not need an onboard navigation system installed for $2,000 or so if your smart phone has its own GPS system.


Filling Up on VALUE


Electricity continues to be a bargain, especially when compared to other consumer goods. Imagine if your electric bill fluctuated as much as prices at the pump. On average, over the past decade gas prices have risen almost 11 percent annually, while electricity prices rose less than 4 percent.
