The photo attached is the end of my vacation. When I got home last week I took that shot of my tripometer. I keep getting e-mails and snail mail from the dealership, asking if I’d like to go back into debt…I mean, buy a new...

Does the cold weather affect the gas mileage of your vehicle?

Large Car or Small Car

Do you own a large car or a small car? Would you change it if gas prices, gas mileage or safety features improved? Why did you buy that car in the first place?
