Fuel Saving Tip: Car Weight and Your Missouri Driving
December 26, 2021
Weight is the enemy of fuel economy. Everyone from Sikeston knows this makes sense.
Some of us in the Sikeston area carry a bunch of unnecessary weight, and I'm not talkin' what you see in the mirror.
Guys: sports equipment and tools. Ladies: well, just take a look around the passenger compartment and trunk. I think my car has about 45 pounds of french fries on the floor.

Lose the junk and save some money.
...And you really only need one of those spare tires.
