Smart Driving Could Save $100 a Month at the Gas Pump! #Toronto #Mississauga #Newmarket

Oshawa, Ontario (May 18, 2012) – With this weekend being the official start to the summer long weekend season, Chevrolet is reminding consumers of some easy ways to maintain their vehicles and drive smarter to help improve fuel efficiency and save money at the pump.

To demonstrate 10 common mistakes drivers make that hurt their fuel efficiency, General Motors fuel economy engineers Ann Wenzlick and Beth Nunning drove identical Chevrolet Cruze LTs with a Natural Resources Canada rating of 7.8L/100km city and 5.2L/100km highway, on a typical workday commute. For the route, they drove both cars for 20 minutes, including city and highway driving as well as stopping for coffee.

The results show that sweating the small stuff could save drivers as much as $100 a month in fuel costs. Wenzlick averaged 6.4 L/100km (37 miles per US gallon) using efficient driving habits in a properly maintained Cruze. Driving inefficiently and ignoring common maintenance, Nunning managed only 11.2 L/100km (21 miles per US gallon). The difference means Nunning would get almost 400 fewer kilometres per tank of gas, while Wenzlick would save $100 a month – or $1,200 a year – assuming 20,000 kilometres and $1.29 per litre for gas:

2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Turbo for sale! Mint Condition!

dealsonweels — Thu, 17 May 2012 18:58:15 +0000

A friend of mine is considering selling his 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS with the Turbo and I thought I would lend a hand.

The car is in really great condition and runs rock solid as well. He hasn’t really done too many performance mods to it other than a K&N cold air intake and a cooler pipe if I recall. He also has all the original parts as well.

Overall the car really is in better than excellent condition and we would like it for our inventory if he doesn’t sell it soon.

Below is a link to his add for it. Please contact him for more information on it.
