As the weather heats up, many drivers hear tips about their cars that are not always true. One common myth is that you should warm up your car before driving in summer. This is false. Modern engines are ready to go right away. Another myth is that running the AC uses a lot more gas. While it does use some fuel, the difference is small in most vehicles. Drivers near Vernon can stay cool without worrying too much.
Some people think tire pressure stays the same year-round. The truth is that hot weather causes air to expand, which can lead to over-inflated tires. Check your tire pressure often during the summer months. Residents in Connecticut should keep an eye on this as temperatures rise.
