Default Taking care of your cars. BUNCH of questions!
1. Do you save more gas when you have your car at neutral gear instead of D at red light?

2. Do you save more gas if you use vent instead of air conditioning? How about heater?

3. Is using gear break (shifting down) better than using too much breaks when slowing down/stopping? For example, is switching to D -> D3 -> D2, etc to slow down better than just using breaks?

4. Does turning on heated seats use up gas? Bad fuel economy?

5. Is it a good idea to "warm up" the car before you start driving? For example, waiting about 30 seconds to 1 minute before you start driving after ignition.

6. Is it better to change your engine oil more than you are required to? For example, changing your engine oil every 3000 miles instead of 5000 miles like you are required to.

7. Is it a good idea to put premium fuel once in a while to "clean" your engine even though your car requires regular unleaded?

8. In the United States, are ARCO fuel really bad compared to Shell, 76, Exxon, etc?

9. How important is it to get those "recommended" 10,000, 30,000, 50,000, and 100,000 mile services for $100-200?
