Firestone Tire & Service Centers Offer Fuel Savings Tips Booklet To Summer Travelers
Booklet offered as part of “Checkup and Go Days”

BLOOMINGDALE, Ill. (July 5, 2004) - Returning from your 4th of July holiday and wondering where all your money went? If you drove, chances are more money went to fill your gas tank than you would have liked. Whether it is a weeklong trip to the beach or just a weekend visit to grandma’s, people all over the country are experiencing more expensive summer travel due, in part to the higher gas prices across the country. That’s why starting today, Firestone Tire & Service Center (FTSC) locations are inviting drivers to pick up a free copy of Firestone’s Fuel Saving Tips booklet.

“Everyone is concerned with saving at the pump these days,” said Andy Cella, senior coordinator, Technical Education, BFS Retail & Commercial Operations, LLC. “Our Fuel Saving Tips booklet educates drivers on the many factors that can influence gas mileage and offers simple tips to help consumers squeeze the most mileage out of that gallon of gas.”

Regular maintenance of a car’s system, fluids, and filters actually plays an important role in increasing a vehicle’s fuel efficiency as well. The Fuel Savings Tips booklet offers drivers information about services that FTSC locations provide that can help cars operate more fuel-efficiently.

Firestone’s Fuel Savings Tips is being offered as a part of FTSC’s “Checkup and Go Days” while supplies last. The promotion, which runs through July and August, also offers drivers a no-charge tire and service check to help you get through your summer travel season. In conjunction with “Checkup and Go Days,” participating FTSC locations will also offer customers discounted service packages encompassing different fuel-saving services.
