The Turbonator commercials have been all over lately. Every time gas is on the rise, these products sell like hotcakes, and people continue to be disappointed by their mediocre performance. They do a great job of selling. I’m not the first to say that. The ads are packed with testimonials, statistics, and illustrations to make you believe you are going to be getting 10 more MPG per tank of gas. At the end of the commercial, you are so excited about the product, you don’t even consider how much it costs.

If you’re in the market for a new car, watching for the monthly car sale numbers announced by the major automakers can often help you determine if it would be best to buy now, or to wait a bit more for better prices.

When there’s solid consumer demand and car sales are brisk, prices remain strong. Without any existing hints of weakness, it’s unlikely we would see better deals due to increased manufacturer incentives and/or Dealer discounts (although we can see this at times on particularly slow-selling models).

A revolution is currently occurring in the world of car warranties. Prices are dropping and the industry is becoming more transparent. If you are willing to shop around then you could make substantial savings on extended warranties.

Many people feel that warranty policies have often been over-priced. Part of the problem has been that there have been relatively few options when buying a policy.

This is a market that has been dominated by car dealerships, car supermarkets and other car retailers. Such is the dominance of these companies within the sector that few of us have even been aware that there were alternative products available.

Car video systems are really catching on and many families are purchasing them to install in their present vehicles. The positives of having one in your car would probably include the following reasons, especially if you have children.

1. They keep the children occupied with something to do other than to tease and torment each other while in the car.

2. Car DVD systems give the back seat occupants something to view other than the back of someone’s head and scenery speeding by on the side. To children it is more entertaining than beautiful scenery.

Chances are you’ve seen the Saturday afternoon show geared toward squeezing every droplet of power out of a 50s or 60s classic. You know—the one hosted by two middle-aged guys, one with a toupee that may as well have “this is a toupee” painted on it. They spend the entire half-hour show with a bunch of time-lapsed shots taken of them tearing the engine apart to put in highly-specialized, insanely expensive parts. Once the project’s done, they fire-up the dyno and laud the 3hp gain they received for about 4 hours of total work. If you’re like me, that’s not exactly how you want to spend a weekend, all for 3hp that you may not even notice with your rear-o-meter.

We are going to approach this discussion from the standpoint of the basic differences as they relate to the owner’s pocket. The benefits of a Diesel engine as opposed to a Gasoline power point can also be looked at from an environmental view point.
