Performance Accessories to Combat Rising Fuel Cost

Remember when Saturday morning Cars and Coffee cost no more than a fin? Two bucks for coffee and three in the tank got you to the run & back, no problem. Now gas is over four dollars, and things are different. But instead of skipping our Jalopies & Java fix, here are a few ideas to combat rising fuel cost. For instance, truck tonneau covers streamline your truck which helps, and running your Superchips on fuel economy mode can save a bundle.

How about some gas-saving accessories that boost style and performance, too? On the style side, wind deflectors promote air flow around your vehicle. The fuel savings maybe debatable, but the cool look is not. And, for performance, a custom exhaust really does save fuel - but only if you keep your foot out of it.

Okay, tail lights for trucks and car floor mats don't save fuel, but they do save your carpets from coffee spills and your rear end from getting rear ended. The point is, we are all feeling the petrol pinch, so let's save where we can, and keep Cars and Coffee a weekend priority.
