We’ve all done it. We pull up to the gas pump to fill up our tank and we try to get the most gas for our money. Especially now that gas prices are so high you might be trying to squeeze in every last before prices rise again! But, did you know that topping off your gas tank is actually causing more harm than good? And you could be wasting your own hard-earned dollars by doing so? Well, it’s true and this week Bennington Chevrolet is going to tell you why you should avoid topping off your tank. So, check it out below and be sure to put these tips to good use! And if your vehicle is giving you trouble, let us clear your fuel line or filters! Schedule your service appointment online today! Bennington Chevrolet’s Reasons To Avoid Topping Off Your Tank: Gas topping damages your vehicle Did you know that gas topping can damage your vehicle's vapor collection system? It’s true! And your vapor collection system is designed to reduce harmful emissions and manage fuel vapor making it a pretty important part of your vehicle. So, overfilling your tank sends excessive fuel into the charcoal canister or carbon filter which is strictly designed for vapor only. When fuel gets into this system, it will affect your vehicle’s performance and could damage the engine meaning hefty repair costs. Gas topping hurts your wallet Often times, gas stations are equipped with a vapor recovery system that will feed vapors and gas from the pump back into the station’s tank once your tank is full. Why? This is to prevent vapors from escaping into the open air and environment, according to the EPA. That means an excess gas pumped into the tank that you’ve already paid for could end up back in the gas station’s storage tanks. Doing so can also cause damage to the station’s vapor recovery system which leads to the following…. Gas vapors are harmful to people & the environment Topping off your gas tank might be a good idea but if any gas spills out of your tank and onto the ground it can cause harmful effects to both the environment and people. A damaged vapor recovery system will not be able to effectively protect people from harmful vapors which will lead to bad ozone days. So long story short, don’t overfill or top off your tank!

Whether your vehicle is in need of minor or major repairs and service, we have trained and experienced technicians to get your vehicle back in great shape for the summer!  So check it out, schedule an appointment and be sure to check out our service coupons to save when you service! Bennington Chevy 5 Essential Summer Services: Check your coolant system When temperatures are rising, it’s important to keep cool. Ourselves and our vehicles. In addition to checking up on the coolant fluid levels, it’s important to check the state of the hoses and the coolant reservoir. Any leaks should be addressed as soon as possible. And hoses should be firm. Windshield wipers While it is summer, it is bound to rain at a point to help cool things off. That means you need a good set of wipers that will keep excess water off your windshield and your vision clear. A good habit to start is checking on your wipers every time you stop for gas or change them every oil change. Engine belts Over time your engine belt can become loose, deteriorate, and start to squeal. It’s important to have your engine belt checked to ensure there are no cracks, missing pieces, and that there is the right amount of tension. Tires While you should be checking your tires year-round, summer is a great time to ensure that tire pressure levels are correct and you still have a good amount of tread still. Summer is the season of road trips, so it’s important to keep up to date with your tires. Plus, be sure to check up on your spare tire as well. Air Filters Winter is known for clogging your windshield-washer nozzle and your car’s air filters. So, when summer hits, it’s important to make sure these areas are clean and ready to go. Sometimes you can change filters yourself but if you’re not sure, ask a technician!

Brake checking is a dangerous behavior that occurs when a driver suddenly slams on their brakes in front of another vehicle, often as a form of retaliation for tailgating, offensive gestures, or other poor road manners. However, this behavior puts not only the driver but also their passengers and other drivers on the road at risk of injury or even death. Some of the dangers of brake checking include: Increased risk of rear-end collisions: When a driver slams on their brakes unexpectedly, the driver behind them may not have enough time to stop, resulting in a rear-end collision. Impaired vision: The sudden deceleration of a vehicle can create a cloud of dust, debris, or smoke, which can reduce visibility and cause other drivers to swerve or collide with other objects. Legal repercussions: Brake checking is considered an aggressive driving behavior and can result in fines, license suspension, and even jail time. Instead of resorting to brake checking, there are safer ways to deal with road rage, such as: Taking deep breaths: When you feel angry or frustrated, take a few deep breaths to calm down and refocus on the road ahead. Avoiding eye contact: Eye contact can escalate an already tense situation, so avoid looking at the other driver and focus on driving safely. Pulling over: If you feel unsafe or overwhelmed, pull over to a safe location and take a break until you feel more relaxed.

Bennington Chevrolet’s Spring Maintenance Tips: The Main Console: Start by wiping down your console with a damp rag, paying attention to areas like the cupholders, change holders, and any other openings. Be careful to avoid any electrical connections on the console. Windows & Mirrors: Over the winter months, windows and mirrors can accumulate dirt and debris, especially if you have children leaving their fingerprints everywhere. Use window cleaner to clean both the inside and outside for the best visibility. Windshield Wipers: With spring's rainstorms ahead, ensure your wipers are in top shape. It's recommended to change them every six months, so take advantage of spring to replace them. Carpeting & Upholstery: Winter mud and salt can wreak havoc on your interior. Vacuum the carpet and use a carpet cleaning solution to remove stubborn stains. For the seats, use a damp towel to give them a thorough wash. The Trunk: Clear out any unnecessary items that may have accumulated over the winter. Vacuum the trunk, paying attention to cracks and crevices, and check the spare tire's inflation. The Exterior: Treat your vehicle to a full-service cleaning to remove the residue from winter elements like snow and salt. A car wash is a quick and cost-effective option. If washing the car yourself, use a soft sponge and mild detergent designed for cars, followed by a gentle towel wipe down and wax treatment. The Engine: Show some love to the heart of your vehicle by popping open the hood and removing any excess grime. If the engine looks particularly dirty, consider bringing it in for a professional cleaning at Destination Nissan.
