Fuel Saving Tip: Auto Myths Around Columbus

October 14, 2018



With high fuel prices in Columbus, Ohio, 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 Columbus, Ohio, service advisor at Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Columbus.

There aren't any magic pills you can drop in your gas tank, and the government hasn't suppressed a device you can clamp on your fuel line to make your vehicle run on air. Not even in Columbus!
