Tune up your engine regularly A tune-up, whether done professionally or at home, helps your car run at its maximum efficiency and helps prevent engine problems during the life of the car. A buck spent now can save you bucks down the line, in other words.
Keep tires inflated properly Ever try to pedal on a bike with flat tires and have to work your butt off even on the straightway? The same applies to your car – you’re making it work twice as hard if you let it roll on underinflated rubber. Buy a gauge, check your pressure and keep the tires properly puffed for the best mileage.
Lose the weight Spring is here, so get the shovel and the bag of kitty litter out of your trunk, and unload groceries as soon as you get home. Consider filling your tank halfway at stations, too - gas carries a lot of extra pounds.
Don't accelerate at speeds over 55 The faster you drive, the harder the engine has to work, and accelerating at a high speed drops your mileage significantly. Stay in the cruising lane – that’s the right, for those of you who drive minivans – and leave the passing lane for the Adderall crowd.

“This is how that works I think. One of my sponsors…..it’s either the National Guard or Diet Mountain Dew/AMP this weekend sells that appearance to the race track or either I would be meeting with a handful of folks directly related to the sponsorship. So at certain race tracks throughout the year, they will sell the appearance to the race track to use however they want. It happens to be the Q&A thing this Sunday and we will go out there and its part of your morning.

what are the best tires to buy for my 2002 mustang to get ready for a Chicago winter?
Jul 14, 2008 by Kottonmouth | Posted in Ford
i live in chicago and we have horrible winters. i need the best tires to buy to put on my mustang to see if it would make driving better.
I've been driving my Mustangs on Bridgestone Blizzaks for years!!! They are about the best rated and tested snow tires out there. I have a set for my 2004 Mach 1, also had them on my '89 and '97 GTs. You will see a huge difference in the drivability of the car in snow, sleet, ice. Make sure you put them on all 4 corners. And yes, keep traction control on it also helps. If I don't have them on when a little bit of snow hits I'll know it. Put the blizzaks on and I'll start moving, and be going through multiple inches of snow as well as a front wheel drive car usually. Just be easy on the gas pedal. ;)

Well you would need a good set of snow tires and some weight in your trunk. As far as the tires I would use Blizzaks for all 4 tires. And for weight use about 3 or 4, 75lb sandbags in the trunk. Then you will be better prepared for winter.

Where is the best place to buy tires?
Feb 19, 2010 by Craig | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I need a new set on a 2002 supercharged 4x4 frontier. What would be my best tire and where should I buy them?
I think buying local is best and less of a hassle especially when it comes time to try and get a warranty honored. Still I bought my last 2 sets of tires on the web. One set at http://www.tirerack.com/ and the other at http://www.TireTeam.com. Their prices with shipping included were both considerable less than http://www.treadepot.com
TireRack.com has loads of reviews by purchasers and can therefore sometimes be helpful in helping you find the right tire. Be sure to add the shipping cost to the price of the tires and then another $15 to $25 per tire for mounting and balancing [sometimes more]. My brother has a tire mounting machine but it won't always work on modern wheels and tires because it is an old machine from the 1960s.

Start by Googling tires and wheels, and then go to Tire Rack.com to get a base price. There are a number of good on-line suppliers that offer free shipping. Also check with your local Costco.

Michelin M/S tires. The M/S stands for mud n' snow. A good 60K mile tire. They are far from cheap though, just warnin' ya. Try NTB. I had good service there once.
The Eagle Keeper | Feb 19, 2010
I bought a set of tires here:
http://www.treadepot.com/
and was very happy with the price and service. You'll need somewhere to get them mounted, though.
The best thing about it was that they sent me what I asked for. Every local place I went to tried to talk me into a different brand or model. It wasn't worth the hassle. I guess if you don't have a specific tire in mind you could try some place local.
Don | Feb 19, 2010
STAY AWAY from the internet tire sales. You can get your local tire and repair shop to match Tire Rack any day if the week. Most places also charge more to mount if you don't buy the tires from them.
I'd have you look at the GENERAL HTS GRABBER at http://www/carolina-tire.com
Tire Kingdom? They are owned by the Japanese conglomerate, Sumitomo. Forget that also..
Buy local, buy from your neighbor, buy from your family owned Carolina Tire & Service Center.

Maui Guy I though you might want to know in case of global. warming. Should it freeze where you are,
buy any brand you like as long as they are real winter tires, i prefer studded winter tires, but they aren't legal in all jurisdictions
Does anyone know/have any idea what my yearly costs will be roughly? inc mpg, servicing, tyres etc etc I know its a fairly broad question but I need to get some idea of whats is going to be best to go for Any help would be greatly appreciated!
