If you travel to work, you are going to pay a lot more!

This is about Chicago area commuters. For I-PASS customers, tolls have increased 35 cents at a typical toll plaza. Double that if you pay cash! Metra rail customers will see an increase of 15.7 percent across all fare zones starting Feb 1. Ten-ride tickets will go up an average of 30 percent, and monthly passes will increase an average of 29.4 percent.

Save on Gas - Fill Up Tips

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool.   All service stations have their storag
   

   Gas-prices
   e tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. 
2. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full, because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm.
3. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high.  You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered.  If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money

 

 

 

Huge Auto Savings

1. Use salvage yards for replacement parts
2. Only buy a car if your old car becomes unsafe to drive and isn't easily fixable, or the cost of the repairs is more than 75% of the cost of buying the same car in running condition
3. Auto Emergency Kit: yellow/orange umbrella, flashlight, & duct tape - tape the flashlight so that it is attached to the umbrella shaft and pointing up - this turns the entire umbrella into a giant, lighted "traffic cone"
4. Make Your Car Last 250,000 Miles
