Road Trip: California's legendary Highway 1

Still, there are a few great road trips that can inveigle almost anybody, a few that can instill a lifelong curiosity about what lies beyond the next hairpin turn. One of those road trips is the Highway 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway, which stretches from Mexico to the town of Leggett in northern California but is perhaps most captivating between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The Highway 1 is the sort of road you see in car ads and movies, one that begs to be driven in a red convertible. It has stomach-dropping turns, wide, clean beaches, and cliffs that plunge to the frothing ocean. It cleaves to the edge of the continent in a way that no road on the more developed East Coast does. It also offers up acres of soft green farmland. No wonder this highway is one of America's unofficial pilgrimage routes—for beatniks, surfers, food groupies chasing the latest fresh taste sensation, and thrill-seekers of all sorts.

“Prepare your car for a long Road Trip”

When heading out on your next road trip, a few simple maintenance checks will not only help keep you safe, but can also save you money. 

 Here are some tips to make your trip more economical and ensure you arrive safely at your destination:

·         Regularly check the inflation pressure of your tires. Keeping tires properly inflated can save you as much as nine cents per gallon in gas costs. You should check your tire inflation pressure “cold” (at least three hours after the vehicle has been stopped and before it has been driven one mile) once a month and adjust accordingly. Properly inflated tires not only contribute to greater fuel efficiency, but also last longer and perform better.

·       Another big factor is proper wheel alignment. Making sure your vehicle is properly aligned can save as much as 15 cents per gallon.

·         Replacing clogged air filters is a biggie. A clean filter versus one that is severely clogged can mean savings as much as 31 cents per gallon. Air filters also keep impurities in the air from damaging internal engine components.

If you decide to flight to your next destination then your best option it’s to take private transportation services. For further information Contac us. http://bit.ly/rjC5G3
