3 Tips from a NASCAR Professional
- Run your engine for 30 seconds to a minute before powering up the heater, air conditioner, windshield wipers and other accessories. Accelerating with a cold engine can cause premature engine failure.
- If your vehicle has fuel injection, keep the gas tank at least one-quarter full. Cornering with a nearly empty tank disrupts the flow to the fuel pump.
- Rotate your tires. Most motorists don't bother, and it's a costly mistake. Proper rotation can add as much as 10,000 miles to the life of a set of tires.
