The Junk in Your Trunk
Posted: 14th July 2010, 12:00am
Your car burns fuel for energy. Its food for the engine, which in turn is what makes the car run. The more work the car has to do, the more energy it needs. No matter what kind of car you drive, eliminating unnecessary weight can go a long way toward increasing your car's fuel efficiency. Have you got a bike rack on your car? That unused rack adds weight and wind resistance. And if you're like most people, you probably have some junk in your trunk. Clean it out. Sports equipment, pushchairs and just plain junk are all hurting your fuel economy.
