Should You Fill Your Tires with Inert Gas?

Not all car tires are filled with regular air, some are filled with nitrogen. If you ever walk by a car and notice that the valve stems have green caps, you’ve probably seen a car with nitrogen in its tires. If you are like us, though, you are probably wondering why this is even being done. Well, we did some research and here’s the story:

Nitrogen is called an “inert gas” by scientists because it has doesn’t react (chemically change) much with other substances. That’s the “inert” part. Contrast this with oxygen, which is a highly reactive gas and tends to react (change) with just about every substance out there. Best example: oxygen turns steel into rust -a detrimental chemical reaction involving automobiles if there ever was one.Read More :AutosVocie.com

Do You Need Detergent in Your Gasoline?

Everyone knows that gasoline varies in price. Even when comparing prices at the same octane level, premium brands ask more per gallon for their gasoline. A common question often asked is whether there is a difference in quality among the brands? Do some gas stations sell a superior fuel? It’s a fair question as, generally speaking, a difference in price for any good, or service, usually indicates a difference in quality. To answer this question, let’s look at some of the issues involved.

They all have the Same Base Components

The gasoline from different gas companies and filling stations comes from a common source: the “base gas” from a petroleum refinery. This gas meets a minimum set of standards and all stations start with that foundation. From there the refinery adds various compounds as required by the Environmental Protection Agency in order to reduce emissions. After that, the different gas companies — both off-brand and major brands — put their own additive packages in the gas to further boost cleaning properties. That’s the basic difference between brands: cleaning properties (and some tout “performance enhancement” too.) Read More: AutosVocie.com

Why Gas Prices are Always Changing

As you undoubtedly know, gas prices are notoriously fickle. They can be counted on to spike unexpectedly, or conversely tumble precipitously, multiple times during any given year. And over time some real dramatic changes can occur. For example, just a little over 5 years ago, the national average for gas was a little over $4 per gallon. Today prices are close to half of that. Ever wonder why the price of gas changes so much? There are a variety of factors at play – some seasonal, some state-specific, some globally significant, and some the result of unpredictable weather-related effects.Read More: AutosVocie.com

Important Benefits Of Driver CPC Training

While in the past Driver CPC training was not essential, even if you were employed in the public transportation or haulage industry; in the last few years, legislation has changed in Europe – making it a legal must.
Therefore, the driver CPC certification is an essential element of your driving education, if you want to work as a bus, coach or lorry driver professionally.  You will not be able to progress with a career in any of these industries without it.
If you are wondering though, aside from the fact above, why you should pursue achieving Driver CPC certification, there are a number of different benefits.  To help you understand these, we will highlight the five we think are the most important in the post below. Read More: AutosVocie.com

When It Won’t Buff Out

Got a deep scratch or two on your car’s paint? If you are driving an old car, it probably doesn’t bother you much, but if your car is a newer model, it likely does. The standard solution, of course, is to bring your car to the local bodyshop and have the panel professionally repainted but you know the downside to this: it’s going to cost you some good money. Ever wonder if you can DIY this sort of thing?

Well, the good news is that you certainly can DIY this sort of thing. The results probably won’t be quite as good as having the panel repainted by a professional shop but they might be darn close. One thing is for sure, though, it will be a lot cheaper. Read More:AutosVoice.com

Are Your Shocks on Their Way Out?

There are several warning signs that your car’s shocks need to be replaced. Does your car bottom out when you hit dips in the road? When you do hit them, does your car keeps bouncing for a few seconds? Another sign is excessive body lean in turns, or that the front of the car dives down hard when braking. All of these are symptoms that your shocks may not be doing their job well anymore.
Here’s what to know about them.

They don’t actually absorb shocks

First, what we call shock absorbers are really “dampeners”, they don’t really absorb “shocks” at all. The components of a vehicle’s suspension that do absorb bumps and shocks are the vehicle’s springs. What shock absorbers do is different; they prevent the springs from bouncing around after a hard bump. And they can wear out and fail to dampen a car’s springs when driving, thereby creating the symptoms we discussed. Read More :AutosVocie.com
