I got this email forwarded to me this morning…

Watch your speed. New State Trooper Vehicles…
KDKA and WDVE & CBS3 confirmed this. in PA.

Look out for Penn dot trucks parked along the road or appearing beh ind you pacing you, it could be a Trooper driving the truck, it is called Operation Yellow Jacket and will be off and on all summer, each district h as a truck cleaned up and ready to go!

Watch Your Speed In PA!
USE CRUISE CONTROL -NO MORE THAN 2 MILES ABOVE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

Starting today, Pennsylvania will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopersovertime. There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling
the 9 main intersections and highways. They are the following:

Rte. 1 north and south
PA-220
I-99 north and south
I-95 north and south
I-279 north and south
I-276 east and west
I-376 east and w est
I-76 east and west
I-80 east and west
I-79 north and south
I-70 east and west
PA-60
PA-66
US-22 & 322

5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is supposed to pull
a car over and write a ticke t every 10 to 20 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Dodge Charger Police cruisers and are bringing in all of their part timers on full time. If you work in Pennsylvania, you will probably take one of these highways. Its up to you how fast you are going then they clock you < /b>
KDKA and WDVE & CBS3 confirmed all of this in PA.

Just got done doing a radio interview at 93.1 WIBC in Indianapolis.

During the interview, we discussed some money saving tips that all car owners need to know about. Here is a recap as well as a few others which we did not have time for in the interview…

1. Gas Myths – Don’t worry about when you buy your gas or how fast you pump it. Always buy the lowest octane gas that your owners manual recommends. If you have an older car and experience pinging then stepping up in octane may help. Higher compression performance engines do require a higher octane due to the increased compression ratio present in the engine. Read More…

2. Oil Changes – Again, follow your owners manual to keep your warranty valid, but if you do switch to a synthetic oil, consider extending your oil change interval to 5,000 to 7,500 miles. The newer synthetics can handle a higher drain interval and your wallet with thank you since the oil is much more expensive that regular petrolium based oil. Check out our oil section…

3. Winterizing your car – Do get your coolant checked for it’s freeze point. Coolant slowly loses it’s ability to prevent freezing and corrosion. Your mechanic can test the coolant and recommend if you need to change it before the winter frost hits. Remember to check your tires, and your spare to make sure it is aired up and in good condition. The fall is a good time to wax your car to protect it from the road salt and chemicals used on the roads. If your current coat of wax does not bead water, get a fresh coat of wax on there.
