Summer Savings from A & B Insurance



Summer Savings from A & B Insurance

A & B Insurance knows you’re going places this summer!  Before you hit the road, pack these super summer savings tips!


1. Make sure your ride is ready – a well-maintained car (correctly filled oil, clean air filter, properly inflated tires) can coax more miles from your fuel tank.
2. Are your schedule and route the best?  Avoid heavy traffic by motoring during off-peak times.  Construction delays mean gas-guzzling stop-and-go.  Be ready with a “Plan B” alternate route.
3. Keeping cool #1: That air conditioner uses gas, but opening windows at highway speeds hurt fuel efficiency even more.  Roll ‘em down at lower speeds, then hit the AC on the highway. 
4. Excess weight means reduced MPG; carrying an extra 100 pounds is like paying 3 cents more per gallon. Lose that junk in the trunk and save room for that vacation souvenir.
5. Keeping cool #2: When you can, park in the shade– a sweltering interior works the AC more, and a cooler car loses less fuel to evaporation.  Can’t find any shade? A windshield visor helps, too!
6. Take it easy – when you avoid stomping the gas pedal and brakes at starts and stops, you can save 30% or more on fuel consumption. And letting cruise control maintain a constant speed uses up to 14% less gasoline.
7. Don’t be idle – a parked and running car can use a half-gallon of fuel every 15 minutes!
8. No charging – the battery power your electronics use must be replenished by fuel from your tank.  Fill up your GPS, phone, and other electronic thingamajigs before you leave home. 
9. Haste makes waste – the higher your speed, the less fuel-efficient your engine.  In fact, each 5 mph you drive above 50 mph costs you about 25 cents per gallon of gas.  Keep it at or below posted limits; you’ll save fuel AND avoid costly speeding tickets. 
10. Get the best deal – do you belong to an automobile club, retirement organization, university alumni association, or road assistance plan?  Check out your membership benefits; you may qualify for discounts on food and lodging.
The road might be long and winding, but A & B Insurance can help get you there with more in your pocket!

The Truth About Self-Driving Cars

Image
 By Diane Tait Image courtesy Pixabay For the past few years, it seems the only time you read or hear about self-driving cars is when a new model is released or when one crashes.  While that may make for titillating headlines, the truth of the matter is that the technology will continue to develop as time goes on.  Not only are billionaires betting the bank on it, but the systems that automate driving are slowly but surely making their way into every vehicle on the road.  If you've been losing sleep about losing control over your car to onboard automation, here's what you need to know.

Is Smartphone Insurance a Smart Choice?

Image
By Diane Tait Image courtesy Pixabay Unless you're a prepper who lives off the grid you probably own at least one cellphone.  Most people trade their phones in for new ones every 2.7 years on average.  While some replace theirs every year or two because they want to keep up with the Joneses, others wait to replace their smartphone until device performance forces them to do so, or because the manufacturer stops supporting their phone.  Regardless of whether you decide to replace your smartphone sooner or later, as soon as you decide to spring for a new one, you'll be asked if you'd like to opt-in for additional protection.  The question is, should you purchase cellphone insurance the next time you get a new phone?
