What Are You Doing On Memorial Day?

Memorial Day is a United States Federal Holiday observed on the last Monday of May .


Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War. It was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars.

It has become a long weekend increasingly devoted to shopping, family gatherings, fireworks, trips to the beach, and marks the start of the summer vacation season!


Car-Lotta Credit Car Sales will be closed Monday, May 28th in observance of Memorial Day and will re open Tuesday, May 29th    at 9:00 am.  

 Happy Memorial Day!

What Day Of The Week Do You Purchase Gas?

With the busy summer travel season right around the corner, drivers are starting to notice higher prices at the pump!

Right now, gasoline prices are at their highest levels since 2014 and are expected to continue rising through Memorial Day to more than $3 per gallon in some areas.

 

f you’re trying to save as much money as you can, you may want to change the day of the week that you fill up.

 

After analyzing gas price data from January through March, reports indicate in Pennsylvania that Mondays offers the lowest average gas price making it the best day of the week to buy gas and  Friday is the worst day to buy gas.

 

There is variation in daily gas prices across different states, the consensus is that the earlier motorists fill-up during the week, the better. Following Monday, Sunday is the cheapest day to fill-up.  Conversely, Thursday follows Friday as the most expensive day to fill-up.

How Much Loose Change Is In You Automobile?

More than $10 billion in loose change can be found under couch cushions and on street corners every year. Most people never think to pick up a stray nickel or dime here and there, but the average American takes more than $600 in change every year through regular transactions


Search your car. Your car is also another spot where you are likely to have loose change. If you have ever used a drive-thru to order food or have gotten change from a drive-up bank teller, there is a good chance you have change underneath your seat or in the side compartments of your doors. Check under the floor mats as well and in the pockets behind seats as well.

• It is a good idea to keep spare change in your car in case you need it for metered parking.

Car-Lotta Car Sales reminds you that collecting loose change can add a significant boost to your savings

Are You Wasting Water?

 Did  you know that  a car wash uses less water then washing your vehicle yourself?  Industry figures show a  car wash  uses  between 37 and 40 gallons of water per car, whereas the homeowner will use between 80 and 100 gallons in the driveway. In that scenario, the car wash uses 50 to 60 percent less water.


Car washes are water conservationists. At the professional car wash they  recycle water and are  very careful with it. Some reports indicate they  use about 28 or 30 gallons a car,  while  washing  your car in the driveway, you can use as much as 140 gallons.
