Now on DriveLiveTV: The 2008 Honda Civic Si

‘Performance, ‘economy’ and ‘reliability’ seldom join forces in the same vehicle, but when they do, the result can be tantalizing. Such is the case with the 2008 Honda Si Coupe: a sleek, modern performance car which also happens to be sensible and a pleasure to own.

The All-New 2009 Honda Fit Gets Bigger, But Stays Fit
It’s larger in all dimensions, but weighs only 22 pounds more!


For 2009, the Honda Fit gets a sportier look, more interior space and improved handling and ride. Quality, fit, finish and space efficiency are all improved, even though reviewers already thought highly of the Fit in those areas. It’s all good for the 2009 Fit! To say the Honda Fit has stormed the States at the right time is an understatement. With fuel prices on the rise and the economy seeming to slide, the Fit rushes to the rescue like the U.S. Cavalry of old. Don’t get nervous; the new Fit is better than ever.

Don’t Be “Fueled” by Additives and Devices That Claim to Improve Gas Mileage
Miracles for increasing fuel efficiency don’t exist!


When gas prices go up, the scam artists show up. Products that claim to boost gas mileage are bogus, according to the EPA. After testing hundreds of “mileage maximizers,” the EPA says it “has not found any product that significantly improves mileage.”

Forget Mystery Meat
Make a lunch that will have your student coming back for seconds!


Ahh, you remember the school lunch line. Standing there, surveying your choices – mystery meat or a chicken patty? There was always pizza on Fridays and little Jell-O cups. Sure, many of the items are still there today, but now there are healthier options. Let’s not forget the good old brown bag lunch.
