He then called us back a couple of hours later to inform us that in fact the par...

INFLATED TIRES
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.

As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever. Car owners still need to replace their tires a few times o...
