Get the Junk Out of Your Trunk!

Don’t carry unnecessary items in your trunk or luggage compartment. Every 45 kg (100 lbs) can cost you 2% more in fuel. If you are carrying tools that you don’t need, golf clubs that you are not using, or in some cases just stuff that you don’t really need, take the junk out of your trunk!
