Don't underestimate how important it can be to drive your car this winter with the tank full of gas. If you like riding around close to empty, here are a few things you may want to consider before heading out on the Missoula, MT roads this season.
Icy and snow-covered roads are hard enough to navigate, a lighter car just makes it that much more difficult. Filling the tan with gas adds more weight to the back of your car and will enable the tread from the rear tires to bite into those slick conditions and hold the road more easily. Bad things can happen when driving on winter roads at night. The car could hit an ice patch and you wind up in a ditch miles from help. With an empty gas tank, you will run out of heat in a short time and not be able to keep warm. These vital safety tips from Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Missoula are for making your winter traveling safer.
