Hey it's Duke again and you know what? My Vet told me I need to watch my weight alittle. Keeping me lean and mean will make me be able to go for longer walks around town without getting tired. Well you car can do the same thing if you watch how weight you put in it for fuel savings so it can go farther and save you money too. Well I guess it's time to get barkin' about this subject!
Weight is the enemy of fuel economy. Everyone from Los Altos, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Cupertino knows this makes sense.
Some of us in the Los Altos area carry a bunch of unnecessary weight, and I'm not talkin' what you see in the mirror.
Guys: sports equipment and tools. Ladies: well, just take a look around the passenger compartment and trunk. I think my car has about 45 pounds of french fries on the floor. Even the dog kennels in the back of your truck add extra weight. Take them out when you don't need them. Don't use your car like a storage facility unless you plan on dumping that stuff ASAP.
All that extra weight wastes gas as you drive between here and there, and everywhere else.
Lose the junk and save some money.
...And you really only need one of those spare tires.
Now where did I store all of my extra bones????.......better check in the trunk! Til next time, this is your friendly Automotive Dog, Duke!
