The sweet smell of road kill, the rear end of a transport and a road sign stating 20 km to Thunder Bay—these are just a few signs that you’re enjoying country living. Another sign you’re a country dweller is watching the gas gauge more than the speedometer. With a steady rise in gas prices, rural residents are especially hard hit.. Well here’s some good news—saving money on gas doesn’t have to mean moving to town.
EcoSuperior’s ecoDriver program is ready to show you ways to make your gas dollars go farther. Driving tips, maintenance hints and a drive less attitude will help you enjoy the freedom of owning a vehicle but save you money at the gas pumps. Some simple changes can save you 10 – 20 percent or more on your annual gas spending. To help you get started, On EcoSuperior will be offering a free ecoDriver presentation, information on ecoDriving behaviours and the chance to purchase a block heater time for only $5!
Thursday, Nov. 12th, 2009 from 6pm – 9pm at the Kakabeka Falls Royal Legion
Wednesday, Nov. 18th, 2009 from 6pm – 9pm at the Rosslyn Community Centre
Free Presentation, free refreshments!
Block heater timers $5 for the first 100 participants
Using a block heater timer means you don’t have to run out before bed to plug in your car or leave it plugged in all day long, wasting electricity. This simple timer allows you to pick a time and it automatically starts and stops your block heater timer to have your engine warm when you need it and saving you electricity when you don’t.
Let us help reduce your annual gasoline bill and decrease the wear and tear on your vehicle. If you like what you see, you can also sign up to bring the ecoDriver presentation to your work place, community group and/or event free of charge. See how simple changes to your driving habits can save you gas and reduce your emissions!
