I am currently driving an automatic.
Sometimes, when going down a hill I will shift the stick into neutral so that the engine is not running.
Will this hurt my transmission ?
Thanks

Say your family has two vehicles and you drive each 12K miles per year.
One is a huge SUV that averages 10 mpg and the other is a midsized sedan that averages 20 mpg.
You want to trade one of them to help save on family fuel costs.
Is it better to trade the SUV for another sedan that gets 20 mpg or to trade the sedan for a hybrid that gets 45 mpg?

I’m getting ready to convert my 04 Ranger with a 3.0 non-flex-fuel engine to a flex fuel engine with one of those conversion kits. That way I can save money at the pump and my amber engine light won’t come on because it thinks the engine is running too lean. Can anyone tell me which is the best company to buy from? I found three companies. Flex Fuel Gold, WhiteLightning.net and Change2E85.com.

Longer than 10 sec, yes 10 sec. From Consumer Reports. I guess they’ve tested it, they have a reputation of testing things thoroughly. So If you’re at a light, you should shut down, if you want to save fuel.
I shut down always at long lights, what’s the use in running? I say why not shut down if you’re saving money.
The criticisms are whether you’re wrecking your starter I guess.
Harley, wow that was a good tidbit of info!

Can I afford this car?
I’ve never bought my own car before.
I’ve always been spoiled with new ones.
I make 28k-34k a year (sometimes I work 2 days out of the week sometimes 4 days). I make $20/hr salary 12 hour shifts. No bills. I don’t even pay for gasoline or food. (Yes spoiled I know.) I have $1000 saved up for the car and another $1000 just in savings. (Started working 2 months ago and been spending ever since lol). I have a 2004 grand prix gt2 I want to trade in. I don’t think im upside down. My parents normally pay more than they need to. Can I afford a $34,000 G8 GT ? And how much would insurance go up on a 21 year old driver with a history of speeding (most tickets removed via defensive driving). Any serious answer would be of great help! I don’t want to ask my dad to finance me if it’s a stupid idea. Thanks for reading !
First of all.. I have had two 30,000+ cars. So its not out of the ordinary. My car now is 20,000. 04 Grand Prix GT2. Its a nice looking car. As for moving out of my house. I have lived in serveral places over the past 3 years. No place is better than our big brick home. I have my own everything seperate from my parents. My own bathroom, fridge, room etc etc. Why live in a crappy apartment when work is only a minute drive.. Oh and a REAL job ? What exactly is a real job to you lol? Im a polysomnography technologist. Next month I’ll be registered and making 30/hr at age 21 I don’t think thats not a “real job”. Its not a real good paying job buts its not the worst. My older brother makes 1/3 of what I make now. I appreciate your answers but don’t understand the critizism. So would 1,600 (the lowest I make a month) cover the payment and diffrence in insurance (I dont pay ANYTHING I would only pay the car note and diffrence in car insurance (so if it goes up 200 ill pay 200 plus car note)

Back in the 70′s I believe we DID have a national speed limit. Those of you who don’t think driving 55 or 60 will save gas probably don’t know how to read. Any publication that discusses saving gas, such as Consumers Report or Popular Science and many other intelligent publications will inform you that these speeds DO save fuel. Unless, of course you don’t give a _ _ _ _ about our Country.

How will we ever be able to conserve our energy if the car manufacturers refuse to build engines that will show no more than 80 miles per hr on the speedometer.When was the last time any of us hit the 120 mark on our speedometers?
