5 Easy Ways to Save Money on Gasoline

Quick tips to save YOU money the next time you fill up:
  • Combine trips.  Every time you start your car, your're using a lot of gas.  To avoid starting your car several times a day, plan ahead and combine your errands.
  • Premium isn't always best.  Avoid paying for "premium" and "high-octane" gas unless your car requires it. For most cars, the cheapest gas will work very efficiently.
  • Keep your trunk clean. Remember: the heavier an object is, the more energy it will take to move it from point A to point B. Don't store heavy objects in the trunck! The lighter the car, the more fuel effiecient it will be.
  • Seek out the cheapest prices. We often choose convenience over logic. Gas stations often change their prices around noon, so try to fill up in the morning if possible.
  • There's an app for that. Apps like GasBuddy or http://www.gaspricewatch.com/.

Do You Need a Personal Umbrella Policy??

Why You Need an Umbrella Policy

 
 

Unfortunately, bad things happen from time to time. And sometimes really bad things happen — a horrific car crash or a tragic accident.

These types of catastrophic losses could wipe you out financially, if you’re not protected properly.

A personal Umbrella policy provides an extra layer of liability protection.

It’s for times when the liability limits on your auto or home insurance aren’t enough. The policy offers an additional $1 to $5 million in coverage for you and eligible family members if you’re held liable for personal injury or property damage claims. The coverage comes at a very affordable price. 

Call your insurance Agent for a quote...the best rates usually are available with the carrier who also insures your auto and home.
