Fuel Saving Tip: Auto Myths Around Anna

August 18, 2019



With high fuel prices in Anna, Illinois, comes lots of gas saving advice. Some of it, like what you hear on  drive is great.  When you get one of those e-mails that's going around telling you how to save gas, try to think it through.

Does it really make sense? Does it defy the laws of physics?

Do some research on the internet or ask your Anna, Illinois, service advisor at Charlie's Fast Lube Anna.

There aren't any magic pills you can drop in your gas tank, and the government hasn't suppressed a device you can clamp on your fuel line to make your vehicle run on air. Not even in Anna!

So next time you get one of those e-mails, check it out with an automotive professional. You'll get more bang for your buck with an oil change or an engine air filter replacement.

We're here for you at Charlie's Fast Lube Anna, so give us a call at 618-833-4999 for good honest advice about your vehicle.
