Fuel Saving Tip: Car Weight and Your Michigan Driving

January 17, 2020



Weight is the enemy of fuel economy. Everyone from Clinton Township knows this makes sense.

Some of us in the Clinton Township area carry a bunch of unnecessary weight, and I'm not talkin' what you see in the mirror.

Lose the junk and save some money.

...And you really only need one of those spare tires.
