Gas has gone up over $1.25 per gallon in the last 8 months. My weekly gas expenses have gone through the roof! I can’t carpool and there is no public transportation, so what’s a guy to do? Decide what car is going to best serve your overall needs and take good care of it. If you have to cut back somewhere, don’t cut back on car maintenance.
I love my Chevy Tahoe and I’m not ditching it for a tin can on wheels with good gas mileage. Instead, I’ll keep the oil changed at 3,000 miles, I’ll check the air pressure in the tires so I get the best gas mileage. And instead of paying $30 for a car wash, I’ll start doing my own car washing and detailing on the weekends.
Found a great site for all the professional products I’ll need to wash my own cars at home, called Lanes Professional Car Products. I’m putting in an order for car polish, wax, tire black, bug remover - all kinds of magic potions to keep my Tahoe looking new in one pre-assembled kit. It’s everything I need for the exterior, interior and even the bucket, brushes and towels. There’s an extra discount on the new car detailing kit, plus free shipping, so I’m getting a great deal on the products and they will pay for themselves after just a couple cleanings in my driveway compared to what I’d pay at the full service car wash.
