HOW TO SAVE AT THE GAS PUMP

Here are some tips . . .

1. Drive at a moderate speed - This is a big factor. The faster you drive, the more fuel it takes to power the car, lowering your miles per gallon.

2. Drive smoothly - Frequent hard acceleration and braking reduces miles per gallon, as well as decreasing the life of the engine, transmission, brakes, and tires.

3. Remove car-top carriers - Even driving with empty racks on the car reduces fuel economy.

4. Don't use premium fuel if you don't have to - Check your owner's manual for recommendations. If it specifies regular fuel, premium will not make the engine run better.

5. Some things that do not impact fuel economy - morning fill-ups, using air conditioning, and dirty air filters.

GARDENING IS GREAT!

Getting out in the garden is not only enjoyable and relaxing -- it's a good way to stay fit. Did you know that gardening burns an average of 300 calories an hour?
Speaking of gardening . . .

Over the past year, I have become involved in a community gardening project. We are seeking gardeners -- no experience necessary! You'll have fun gardening with the seasoned gardeners, whatever your experience.

Volunteers are welcome at Greenside Out Garden in Brookline Village where we are raising food for the Brookline Emergency Food Pantry. We appreciate whatever amount of time you can offer, as well as donations of seeds/seedlings, tools, organic mulch/fertilizers/pest control products, and financial contributions. For more information, please call me at 617-738-8222 and see http://www.bountifulbrookline.org/.
