FAMILY TRAVEL | FUEL COST
How to Save on Gasoline
1. Relax in the Vehicular Parade.It’s inevitable: At some point, you will be trapped
in a stream of vehicles on a curvy road or in ano-passing zone.
The typical driver will alternate between theaccelerator pedal and brake pedal as though theyare buttons on a keyboard. That kind of jerky driv-ing is very inefficient. Instead, try to relax — listento some music or gaze around at the countryside —and remember that eventually you will be the per-son at the beginning of the parade.
Use that same soft and gentle approach whenev-er you drive to get the best fuel economy.
2. Obey the Speed Limits.Speed limits exist for safety reasons, but they
contribute to fuel economy as well. Many driversroutinely exceed speed limits, taking the chancethey won’t get caught.
Even if the police don’tcatch you, the gas pumpwill. According to theEnvironmentalProtectionAgency, each 5mph you driveover 60 mph canreduce your fueleconomy by about 8 percent.
3. Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated.Underinflated tires are dangerous and inefficient
and the increased rolling resistance can greatlyreduce fuel economy. According to the U.S.Department of Energy, when all four tires areunderinflated by 10 pounds, your fuel economy willbe reduced by 3 percent.
Tire pressure recommendations can be found in
your owner’s manual or on a sticker on the trunklid, driver’s side door or door frame. Buy a tiregauge and check your tires regularly.
For the best reading, check your tires when theyhave not been driven for at least three hours.
4. Obey the ‘See’ Rule.Before you leave the interstate for the food or fuel
you’ve seen advertised on a billboard, consider the“see” rule: If you can’t see the establishment or itssign from the interstate, keep going to the next exit.
Otherwise, you might get caught chasing arestaurant that is five or six miles from the inter-state. Falling for this ruse wastes both time andfuel.

It's that time again - time to buy a new car. Maybe you're ex-cited because you've been dreaming of getting new wheelsfor a long time now. Or maybe you're nervous; buying a caris a big financial commitment and you want to make sureyou do your homework. If you fall into this second group,don't worry; these five simple questions can help you find avehicle that fits your lifestyle.
Is it a lemon? When you purchase your vehicle, thelast thing you want to do is shop for another car in acouple of years. Picking a reliable vehicle is key. Sohow do you do it? Make a list of the vehicles you'reinterested in and head to the Web to research previousvehicle recalls. If you are buying a used car, websites likeCarFax.com and others can also show you the history of
that particular car, giving you insight into just how reliableit will be.
Where's the value? Whether safety is your topconcern or you want the most vehicle for your money,it's all about value.
How will you pay for it? Behind safety, financingis probably the most important thing to consider whenbuying a new car. Before you sign on the dotted line,make sure you've thoroughly researched your financingoptions. And remember, you have other options besideswhat the dealership offers you.
Are there any physical concerns you needto remember? Not every vehicle is perfect for every
person. Think about yourself and who will most oftenride with you. If you or your passengers are very tall, asmaller sedan may not make sense. Likewise, peoplewho have mobility challenges may not be comfortablegetting into a large pickup truck.
Will it grow with your family? Sure it fits yourneeds now, but what about next year? The year afterthat? Whether it is children, pets or joining the office car-pool, consider the fact that the space you need presentlymight not be the space you need even a year from now.
Shopping for a new car can be an exciting experience, butit can be nerve-wracking as well. As you begin your search,remember these questions and you'll be closer to finding thevehicle of your dreams.

Digital Dashboards
Increasingly, though,mechanical gauges are beingreplaced by a new, high-techalternative: the digitaldashboard.
LCD SCREENSInstead of showing your
speed, engine RPMs andother information usingneedles in a gauge, thesenew-generation instru-ments are displayed digitallyon a high-resolution LCDscreen behind the steeringwheel.
Some cars have one bigdisplay, while others have twoor three small screens thatcan be configured to showdifferent information.
And while they started outon expensive, rare cars likethe Lexus LF-A and NissanGT-R, they’re filtering downto more affordable vehicleslately. Some luxury cars havedigital gauges availableeither as standard oroptional equipment, andthey are expected to becomemore common on evenmoderately-priced vehiclesin the future.
CUSTOMIZATIONWhy are cars making the
switch to digital screens?
Aside from the sheer techno-logical wow factor — manyof them look like somethingout of a science fictionmovie — it’s because theycan easily be customizedto meet the wishes of thedriver.
Unlike mechanicalgauges, which can only befixed in one layout, digitalgauges can be redesignedand reconfigured as needed.Most of them offer optionsfor the colors, design andlayout that the driver can
change to meet theirpreferences.
For example, you mightbe able to switch to a “sport”layout that includes a bigtachometer for performancedriving, then switch to a“normal” layout with a big
speedometer for more relaxeddriving.
You can also pick whichinformation you want to seedisplayed. You might wantnavigation info instead of fueleconomy info in the lowerright hand corner, for example.
Since the dawn of the automobile, mechanical gauges have helpedto keep the driver informed about the speed and condition of theirvehicle. From speedometers and tachometers to oil pressure and
temperature gauges, the instrument cluster is an integral part of every car.
FAMILY TRAVEL | PREPARING FOR THE WORST
Your Road Trip Emergency Kit
We asked family travel experts toshare what they keep in their cars —whether they are driving through thedesert, heading to an earthquake zoneor just driving around town.
Here’s what they had to say:
ALWAYS KEEP HANDYStock your car at all times with
paper towels, toilet paper,Dramamine, granola bars, Band-Aids,Ziploc bags (for trash and vomit), amulti-purpose tool like a Leathermanor Swiss Army Knife, work gloves, wetwipes, duct tape, the car owner’s man-ual, cell phone charger, smartphoneapps that will help you to find localthings quickly, a towel and water bot-tles.
Toss in a few tools and repair neces-sities, including jumper cables, aratchet set, pliers, screwdriver, electri-cal tape, a can of emergency tireinflater, road flares and automotivefuses.
Finally, keep near the driver’s seat ahammer/seatbelt cutter in case youare in an accident and need to get outof the car fast.
WINTER WONDERSWinter requires special tools, such
as an ice scraper and snow brush, butfor safety reason, be sure to also bringa blanket, extra mittens or gloves andkitty litter to create traction when youget stuck on the ice. Keep the kitty lit-ter in a sealed plastic container so itstays dry and doesn’t spill all over thecar.
If you’re planning a winter road trip,it’s also important to make sure youunderstand the differences among thevarious winter weather advisoriesissued by the National WeatherService. You might still be fine travel-ing under a winter weather advisory,but you might want to alter your plansif it’s a more serious winter stormwatch or warning.
DESERT DESIRABLESIn the desert, gas, water and fellow
humans can be in short supply. Soprepare for longer-term emergencies.Bring three gallons of water (enoughfor the people and the radiator), spaceblankets for each traveler, ‘Survival’chocolate bars, tire patch kit, an airpump, solar charger for your phone,hiking boots or good walking shoesand socks and sunscreen.
QUAKE NECESSITIESIf you’re traveling through earth-
quake country, bring along a smallbackpack filled with a blanket, jacket,duct tape, flares and three days’ worthof water and dried food.
