Fuel Saving Tip: Auto Myths Around Troy

May 10, 2020



With high fuel prices in Troy, Michigan, comes lots of gas saving advice. Some of it, like what you hear on  drive is great.  When you get one of those e-mails that's going around telling you how to save gas, try to think it through.

Does it really make sense? Does it defy the laws of physics?

Do some research on the internet or ask your Troy, Michigan, service advisor at Gary Knurek GoodYear.

There aren't any magic pills you can drop in your gas tank, and the government hasn't suppressed a device you can clamp on your fuel line to make your vehicle run on air. Not even in Troy!

So next time you get one of those e-mails, check it out with an automotive professional. You'll get more bang for your buck with an oil change or an engine air filter replacement.

We're here for you at Gary Knurek GoodYear, so give us a call at 248-362-0350 for good honest advice about your vehicle.
