Stay Cool

Damn, it's hot in here! The blazing hot sun can turn the interior of your car into a oven. Sure you can blast your air conditioning to cool off your car - but that wastes gas. A recent study commissioned by the California Air Resources Board estimated that simply using your car’s AC increases gas usage by as much as 22%. Happily, there are options. Get a simple sunshade. Need something more? There's a reflective car cover that cover the roof and all the windows. There are also permanent solutions like window tinting and a product called SoCool, which uses solar-powered electric fans to keep your car cool.
