Cars & Transportation - 6 August 2006

Every day there are things that YOU can do to minimize how much money you spend on fuel.
Instead of complaining about fuel prices & seeking the 'magic wand' to make the price per gallon less, lets see how many ideas (big & little ) WE can come up with to reduce OUR out of pocket costs.
I have already REDUCED the amount of money I spend on fuel by more than half , even though I pay more per gallon at the pump.

It's not all that hard to do!
Here's a few ideas to get you started:
I do 95% of my shopping either on the way to or from work.
I also often call my neighbor before leaving work to see if there's anything she needs at the store that I can pick-up for her.

I used to go out for the local Sunday paper.Now I have it delivered.

I save trips to the bank, with automatic payroll deposit & local ATM

I drive a Hybrid

I've altered my driving habits & routes to conserve

These are just a few ideas, that, when combined with others, can save YOU $

Whats UR IDEA?

Ok, brake switch been changed twice so there is nothing wrong with the brake switch. Turn lights on both side front and back is been changed so now it all works. Tail light works too. On my Chevy Lumina 1995 have 3 brake lights, one in the middle and two side, my problem is the brake lights on the sides don't come on even when I turn on the lights at night. We done everything now what, only thing I can think of maybe is the ground wire but where is at???

I have a 1994 Isuzu Rodeo. When the AC is running cool air blows from the vents on the driver's side but nothing comes out of the top vents on the passenger side and hot air comes from the floor vents.

Also, the air flow on the driver side doesn't seem to be as forceful as it should be.

What might be the problem and how costly of a repair am I looking at?

I will soon be getting a 1989 chevy silverado. Is there any main problems with a 1989 chevy silverado that may be due to some sort of manufacturing default that I may need to fix?

Also, has anyone or does someone own/owned one that can tell me what kind of problems they had with it, big or small?

I have a 97 dodge caravan and I believe I have a transmisson problem.
My gears are shifting okay its just that I have lost power when I give the car some gas, also my trans fluid is brown and I was told that there are metal flakes in the fluid, maybe some burning going on.

Should I get a trans tune up or just get a new trans.
