Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Wednesday, September 28th:

• Wanna save a hundred dollars? Train the kids to turn everything off after they watch tv or play a video game. That would be not only the tv, but also the satellite or cable box and the video game console.
• Teenager complaining about being broke? Encourage them to collect bottles and redeem them for cash. The redemption centers are waiting!

We’ve talked before about some ways you can get more bang for your gas buck at the pump. Especially, if you, like me, do not own a hybrid and it’s not looking financially feasible in the near future! Here are three things you can do now, to raise your mpg. That’s miles per gallon for those of you not as moniker savvy as me! OMG! Sorry. Okay, the first thing you can do:
Slow down. Driving 10 mph above 60 is like adding nearly 50 cents to the price of a gallon of gas, since higher speed equals more guzzling.
Also, once a month, check the pressure of each of the tires against the guidelines listed in your car's manual; add air if needed. Doing this can improve mileage by about 3 percent.
And then, replace your air filters regularly. A new oxygen sensor alone can improve mileage by as much as 15 percent.
One last thing: wash you car. Why? ...Because it’s dirty.

Didn’t see that coming, did you? It’s the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
