Small Cars Save On Gas
We drove about 300 miles round trip to my son’s house. I sure am glad we have a 4 cylinder car for such trips. We filled the tank before leaving and got back with 1/4 tank of gas left. The tank hold 14 gallons. We still have a full size Chevrolet with a V8 engine. It sure would have eaten a lot more gas.
My son has a ceiling fan in his high ceiling house. It blows down from the ceiling to pull warm air from up high down lower. I’m not sure, but I think our way of blow a fan up toward the ceiling works better. I felt a cool breeze from the ceiling fan. I have never noticed a cool breeze from our fan aimed up at the ceiling. Of course all of our ceilings have been low. His is an A frame ceiling with exposed been rafters.
Winter is a season where many spend a lot of money to stay warm. I hope you can keep your heating bills down this winter. Higher gasoline prices also mean higher heating costs. Be sure you take a look at the heating tips I mentioned earlier.
