4 Things You Didn’t Know About Your Car

We all know that Americans LOVE their cars.  From the classic pickup, to the economical sedan, we all have some type of affinity toward the vehicles we drive.  It’s always good to know even a little bit about your vehicle including a few factoids we’ve laid out.  So, without further ado, here are 5 things you DIDN’T know about your vehicle:

1 – Think your car has the power of 200 horses under that hood?  Well, it’s more like 285.  Why?  It’s because the average horse can only pull about as much as 70% of the measure of one horsepower unit.

2 – Your car has a mini computer under the hood. This computer can tell technicians at our dealership of any diagnose issues you have, it can also connect wirelessly to download updates and contact the manufacturer in case of issues (on newer models).

3 – Gas in America is SUPER cheap.  Yes, so stop complaining.  In most countries, gas prices are twice as much a gallon or more.  Plus, you pay way more for other staples like coffee. A gallon of Starbucks coffee would run you almost ten times what a gallon of gas costs. If you want to trade a gallon of gas for a gallon of good coffee, head on down to your local auto shop. We’re certain they’ll take that deal in a heartbeat.

4 – Cars are a serious harm to animals.  These animals also pose a hazard to cars and drivers, causing accidents that require expensive auto repair and injuries.  In fact, car drivers kill more deer every year than hunters do, by quite a lot.

Do you have any facts that most drivers wouldn’t know of?  Feel free to comment below!
