Get some inexpensive zip and zap. Changing your plugs gives performance and economy.

Neglecting your car’s spark plugs can have some serious side effects including a degrading your fuel mileage, increasing emissions and a host of other problems. Eventually, if neglected long enough, your vehicle’s performance will reflect that of a 1972 model. Not something that most owners really want. Most auto owners want the most “bang” for their buck. Paying attention to small things like spark plugs will help keep your money in your pockets and not your mechanic’s. It isn’t always necessary to spend hundreds of dollars to get minimal performance gains. One quick and easy way is to upgrade your ignition system. This begins with upgrading your spark plugs, followed by changing your wires and ignition coil.

Maintaining your tires is key to proper performance.

Wear on Both Edges: UNDER INFLATION A tire that has both side edges worn down may be under inflated. Too little pressure is a tire’s worst fate as it reduces its life. The abnormal wear patterns can also cause handling anomalies which could result in an accident. This excessive wear generates excessive heat which reduces the tire’s overall durability – or worse, a flat. Your fuel economy is also affected by the increase of rolling resistance (under inflated tires makes your vehicle expend more energy). Regularly check for proper inflation. Shoulder wear on a tire often is caused by misalignment.
