right size your ride

As gas prices near $4/gal here in California, perhaps it is worth taking a small break and checking what the price per gallon of fuel costs in the rest of the world. A quick check of the Mercury News' 'Road Show' column yields in Germany they're now paying the equivalent of $8.60 a gallon, in Paris the fuel costs are the equivalent of $9.25 per gallon and there are claims to have seen the equivalent of $10.50 per gallon in England last month.

So, if you can not cut down on the miles you drive, maybe you are driving more car than you need. If you are thinking it is time to trade up (or down) but don’t want to spend a lot of money - stop in at BuyYourCar.co.uk and look into their Used Car section and prepare to be amazed at what is available. An enormous selection of used cars await you at the best prices by both private sellers and used car dealerships.

Enter in the make and model of the car you’re thinking of (you can also narrow the search by adding options like colour, price range, location and who you would prefer to buy from: a private owner or a dealer (or both!))

So if you want a used ford Ka (50 MPG!) you should start looking here.
