Fuel Saving Tip: Car Weight and Your Missouri Driving

February 14, 2021



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

Some of us in the Perryville 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.
