Fuel Saving Tip: Auto Myths Around Orland Park

January 14, 2024



With high fuel prices in Orland Park, 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 Orland Park, Illinois, service advisor at Tuffy TIre & Auto Service Center Orland Park.
