Fuel Saving Tip: Car Weight and Your NE Driving

September 1, 2019



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

Some of us in the Omaha 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.
