Fuel Saving Tip: Car Weight and Your Michigan Driving
February 17, 2019
Weight is the enemy of fuel economy. Everyone from Novi knows this makes sense.
Some of us in the Novi area carry a bunch of unnecessary weight, and I'm not talkin' what you see in the mirror.
Guys: sports equipment and tools. Ladies: well, just take a look around the passenger compartment and trunk. I think my car has about 45 pounds of french fries on the floor.

Lose the junk and save some money.
...And you really only need one of those spare tires.
