When going downhill on a long steep grade should I pump the brakes or shift to a lower gear...say 1st or 2nd..........automatic transmission. Should I do the same with a 5 speed trans.

I have a 2001 F-150 that has been an outstanding vehicle but it is a gas hog. I am looking at ways to make the vehicle more fuel efficient. Thanks in advance!

I gotta a couple of hail dings on the hood and heard about someone using dry ice to contract the metal to remove the ding. BS or true? Technique or steps of procedure?

When driving my car, it makes a annoying scraping sound...seems to be in the passenger side wheel as it goes around. What could it be, and how much will it cost me!!!??!! I'm going to take it in to be serviced tomorrow but want an idea.

I'm wondering about the car regarding to its health, and the gas consumption.

1. Turning the engine off, and then restarting it.
2. Running the car, but putting it in parking.
3. Running the car, but leaving it in drive, and just pressing on the brake pedal.

With the huge amount of traffic accidents, should it be mandatory to take a driving exam when renewing your license? Not the driving exam taken to get the license, but a new test geared towards maintaining safe drivers.
