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.

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!

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.

You may not know it, but your fellow Jerseyans are peppered throughout your favorite TV shows. Your Nissan automobile dealers know this and they want to take a moment to recognize them so you can look for them the next time you watch TV. Here are some of the shows and the Jerseyans to look for:

Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew
A group from the Rutgers Dance Team performed on Sass x7 on the second season of this American Idol’s solo project. They didn’t make it to the final stage of the competition, but they were they only all-female dance team that stood out in the competition.

America’s Next Top Model
Lauren Utter from Monroe appeared on the 10th incarnation of this addicting program. Out of 14 contestants, she was the 8th to get booted off. That’s not bad considering, by her own admission, that she never dresses up or wears makeup.

Project Runway

Your Nissan automobile dealers like to recognize Jersey natives when we get a chance. Maybe you’ll see one of these reality show stars at your Lumberton area Nissan dealer spending the money they made on a new or certified car.

After-Christmas sales are sometimes some of the best sales of the year. In fact, the sales on the day after Christmas are becoming even bigger moneymakers for retail stores than Black Friday, or the day after Thanksgiving. This year, that’s even truer because retailers are becoming more desperate to get your business with the recent downturn in the economy. “There’s not a lot of time for retailers to make up for what’s been lost,” said a spokesperson for the National Retail Federation. While post-Christmas sales typically account for about 10-15 percent of the season’s overall sales, some say this year that percentage will jump as people are waiting for the better deals.

Stores opened early this morning to catch the early risers. “People can come in from 7 a.m. to noon and they are going to find great deals,” said Tom Aiello, a spokesperson for Sears. “It’s like Black Friday.”

Before you go out and do your after-Christmas shopping this weekend, visit your Nissan NJ dealership. It’s the perfect place to start because you can get a new or certified used Nissan to drive around town in style while you do your shopping. Your Turnersville area Nissan dealer is ready to give you a great deal on the car you wanted and didn’t get for Christmas.

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!
