Innovations in technology, increasingly stringent government regulations, and consumer demands have all combined to make the automobile one of today's most significant investments. As costs for new and pre-owned vehicles continue to rise, extending the life of the car has never been more important. That's why The 300,000 Mile Car is a "must." Inside this highly readable, sometimes humorous, self-help manual are easy-to-understand explanations, tips, guidelines and strategies for everything - from estimating the real costs of car ownership through diagnosing common problems and avoiding fraud at the automotive repair shop. This guide devotes two chapters to the subject of purchasing a new or used car, going over items such as: finding out what dealers really pay, negotiating techniques, the games of the sales floor and how to avoid them, leasing vs. purchasing, types of leases, and how rebates actually work. An extraordinarily complete reference to economical car ownership, this book is guaranteed to take the mystery out of how cars operate and put readers in the driver's seat when it comes to controlling all of the expenses associated with owning and operating their vehicles.

With gasoline prices on the rise, every driver will appreciate this complete, concise guide to fuel economy and how to improve it in today's automobiles! The only publication of its kind, Fuel Economy thoroughly discusses ways in which modern automotive systems work together and the interrelationships that affect fuel economy. Author Roy Cox uses simple, straightforward language to raise such important topics as conditions and components that cause specific problems, actions that can be taken to make your car use less fuel, and when to seek professional repairs. "Drive slower," says Cox "Driving at 50 to 55 mph is measurably more economical. Drivers should also try to avoid braking and drive off-hours to as not to get caught in rush hour traffic jams." Fuel Economy details the beneficial effects of fuel economy maintenance. Cox includes step-by-step instructions for common do-it-yourself procedures. "Vehicle owners should drive less and drive better." Says Cox. "Regular maintenance and unclogging of air filters is important, too." This clever combination of "how it works" and "how to do the maintenance" approach fosters new insight into the key factors affecting fuel economy in cars, and what drivers can do to keep them performing at peak power and economy.
