Now that gas prices are starting to inch back up, your NJ Chevrolet dealership wants to offer some tips on saving gas. One of the best things you can do to save gas is to drive the speed limit. Although an unpopular tip, slowing down behind the wheel is one of the most effective things you can do to squeeze a few extra miles out of each gallon of gas.

One of the most common misconceptions that people have about driving faster than the speed limit is they save a lot of time. However, the time saved is often minimal if it’s even noticeable. This website has a table that calculates how much time you would save by going various speeds over the speed limit. For instance, if you drive 20 minutes to work each day, you only save about five minutes of travel time if you decide to drive 70 instead of the posted 55 the entire way.

Of course, there are other factors to take into consideration. But going the speed limit has many other advantages besides fuel efficiency. Isn’t the extra few minutes worth it so you don’t have to worry about getting a ticket when you’re on the highway?

If gas prices continue to rise, you can bet your Chevrolet dealership will offer tips on saving fuel. You can help yourself by visiting your Lumberton area Chevrolet dealer and getting a fuel-efficient model or even a hybrid version of your favorite car. Do it today before gas prices go up any higher!

If you’ve been waiting for the 2009 Malibu to arrive on the lot of your Lumberton area Chevrolet dealer, your wait is over. The 2009 version has many improvements over the 2008 version and has impressed many reviewers. Here are some highlights from one review about the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu.

• The 2009 Malibu is available in a gas-electric hybrid version.
• The Malibu is a serious contender in the mid-sized vehicle market which includes other cars like the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry.
• It can get about 26 miles to the gallon in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. This reviewer said he got an average of 31.6 miles to the gallon when combining highway and city driving.
• The base for the non-hybrid Malibu model is about $22,300. The base price for the hybrid version is about $25,345.
• The interior of the Malibu hybrid is comfortable and non-pretentious. The back seat is large enough to comfortably hold two adults or three if needed.
• Safety features on the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu include side and side-curtain airbags, OnStar, stability control and antilock brakes, just to name a few.

With these features and so much more, why not visit your nearby Chevrolet dealer today?

Your Chevy dealerships want to commend drivers for changing their driving habits despite the recent decline in gas prices. A recent study shows that about 52 percent of American drivers have continued to drive more efficiently even though gas prices are less than half of what they were a few months ago. It’s like the $4 a gallon prices scared them and they are prepared for another hike in prices at any time. On the other hand, about 12 percent of drivers have gone back to their old driving habits.

The new study, released by Gallup.com, breaks down the findings even further. According to the data, drivers in the upper-income range (more than $75,000 annually) were the least likely to change their driving habits when prices went up. However, the age of the driver did not matter much when it came to changing driving habits.

In a twist, the data showed that drivers in the lower-income range were more likely to return to their old driving habits. About 19 percent of people making less than $75,000 a year say they have disregarded their fuel-saving habits since prices have gone down.

Whether you’re back to your old driving habits or if you’ve held on to your fuel-efficient ways, your Marlton area Chevrolet dealer has a car to fit your needs. Check one out today!

If you’re like most people today, you’re making a list of the things you want to change about yourself in 2009. Your local Chevrolet dealership understands this and we want to help you make resolutions and keep them. Here are some tips that we offer to help you better yourself in 2009.

1. Have a plan. Nothing works without a plan. Think about how you will accomplish your resolutions in 2009. Write these steps down so you can see them and visualize them.
2. Create your plan today! Don’t wait until tomorrow or January 3 to create your plan because you’ll be more likely to just forget about it. Do it today so you can get started on fulfilling your plan immediately.
3. Think long-term. You’re not going to accomplish your 2009 goals by January 2. You have to be in the mindset to think for the entire year rather than just one day.
4. Be flexible. Just because you break your resolution one day doesn’t mean you failed. Keep jumping back on the wagon and continue to keep trying if you want to reach your goal by the end of 2009.

If your resolution is to buy a new or certified car, your Delran area Chevrolet dealer can definitely help you accomplish that goal. Visit us today and start 2009 off with a bang!

While the Big Three continues to experience bad sales figures and seeking money for bailouts, some New Jersey Chevy dealerships aren’t feeling the pinch.

One of the Chevy dealerships in Little Falls, New Jersey is outselling many other car dealerships in the area. In fact, this particular dealerships is “outselling most of General Motors,” according to one news article. Sales for General Motors are down by more than 20 percent in 2008, but sales for some NJ Chevy dealerships have doubled in the last 12 months.

The key to increasing sales is to treat customers like they want to be treated. Most customers are just looking for a fair deal on a car and not every dealer is willing to do that. Some dealers jack up their price in hopes of getting a better price after negotiations. But building a strong relationship with the customer and making them feel like they aren’t overspending for a new or used car increases sales because they will refer their friends and family to the dealer when it comes time for them to purchase another vehicle, too.

Visit your Marlton area Chevrolet dealer and feel like part of the family. You’ll get treated fairly and you’ll walk away with a great deal on the car of your choice. We guarantee it.

As a New Jersey dealer, we are proud of our heritage and traditions. That’s why we want to bring your attention to a new book that covers some holiday food traditions that we all celebrate throughout the state.

“Where to Shop for Holiday Foods, Feasts & Traditions in New Jersey” is the title of the book and it features a number of stores, ideas and recipes that Jersey families have enjoyed together during the holidays for decades. Author Dolores Stephenson had this to say about the book: “To my knowledge, it is the only book on the market for the nostalgic cook, caterer host or hostess for the holidays that focuses on Jerseyeans roots, their love of food and their family traditions.”

The book was released a couple weeks ago and features more than 250 stores throughout the state where you can shop for the foods you need to make the recipes. You can only purchase the book through the mail at HolidayFoodTraditions.com.

While you’re at it, celebrate the holidays with a new car from your Delran area Chevrolet dealer. New Jersey is the perfect place for food and cars. Check both of them out today!

Your Chevrolet dealership enjoys recognizing acts of kindness and generosity when they occur in the country. This is one of those times.

In Wisconsin, a “secret Santa” donated $75,000 to the state’s food banks through America’s Second Harvest of Wisconsin. The organization has several food banks throughout Omro and Milwaukee. Throughout the years, the donor’s donations have enabled Wisconsin’s food banks to pass out more than 11 million pounds of food to pantries, shelters and other food programs. Since 1983, the donor has given more than $2 million to the food banks in the state. This year’s $75,000 donation enable the food banks to distribute about a half million pounds of food.

Although the president of the organization – Bonnie Bellehumeur – has never met the secret donor, she is grateful for the donations. And with the flailing economy, those donations are even more helpful than they have ever been. Food supplies are also low and the demand has gone up nearly 25 percent.

You can be as generous as this secret Santa by visiting your Marlton area Chevrolet dealer and buying a new or certified car for someone you love. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Christmas!

Your Chevy dealerships enjoy having snow on the ground for Christmas. I’m sure that’s the sentiment of many people along the East Coast. Most people would be fine if it did not snow all season as long as we have a white Christmas.

The snow that blanketed the Lehigh Valley region on Friday will likely stick around through Christmas and possibly even longer. There was also some snow that fell over the weekend that will help us enjoy a white Christmas. That’s exciting since the area hasn’t really had a white Christmas since 2002.

The Weather Channel compiles the odds of each region in the nation having a white Christmas each year. In New Jersey, odds range between 10 and 25 percent each year that it will either snow on or around Christmas Day. Also, the Old Farmer’s Almanac is saying it’s going to be very cold with snow showers from today through Thursday.

Don’t let this discourage you from visiting the local Chevy dealerships in the area, though. It’s a lot of fun seeing the brand new cars amongst the white snow. Visit a Marlton area Chevrolet dealer this week and enjoy the white stuff while spending less of the green stuff on a new or used car.

Your Chevrolet New Jersey dealer is concerned and dedicated to helping the environment. That’s why we applaud the actions of the state’s officials and energy companies to slow down and even eliminate carbon dioxide pollution.

The newest attempt to accomplish this goal was the nation’s “second Internet auction that will charge power plants money to compensate” for the pollution they create. The RGGI, or Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, organized the auction which included 10 northeastern states that have promised to reduce their emissions by at least 10 percent in the next 10 years. (All those 10s do not have any significance in the plan, it just turned out that way.)

The auction occurred yesterday and it sold more than 30 million carbon dioxide allowances. Bidders included Conectiv Energy and other plants in and around New Jersey. The proceeds will be divided between each state’s Economic Development Authority, the DEP and the Board of Public Utilities.

You can help the environment by getting a fuel-efficient vehicle from your Marlton area Chevrolet dealer. With new engines, hybrid models and much more, you can do your part in saving the environment and reducing air pollution while enjoying the car you’ve always wanted!

In the latest effort to increase sales figures, General Motors is offering employee prices at your local Chevrolet dealership this month.

This isn’t like the sale GM had a few months ago where anybody could get the same prices as employees. With the current promotion, you have to know somebody that either works for General Motors as a salaried employee or retiree. And that person has to offer the deal to you. Each person is only allowed to offer the discount to two friends or family members. But with more than 130,000 white-collar employees and retirees, that’s a lot of discounts!

In addition to this promotion, though, the Red Tag Sales Event is going on at your Marlton area Chevrolet dealer. This sales event offers thousands of dollars of incentives and rebates on some of your favorite Chevrolet models as well as special leasing and financing terms.

Can you think of a better gift to give yourself or somebody else than a new or certified pre-owned vehicle from your local Chevrolet dealership? With gas prices down and the cash incentives, there’s never been a better time to invest in one of these cars. You better hurry, though. The incentives end on January 5!
