Money Saving Tip For September

Monday, September 27th, 2010

Fill up the gas tank before it hits reserve. Running the tank low creates two problems. The fuel pump can overheat causing it to fail intermittently or outright and creating a very expensive repair, typically $500 or more. At any rate fuel pump service life will be shortened dramatically. This situation can also cause a check engine light resulting in expensive diagnostic time. Fill the tank when it gets down to a quarter full and save yourself some money.
