Gas: Quality & Octane, Saving You Money
May 12, 2011
All those price options at the gas pump can be confusing. Gas is gas, right? Why pay significantly more for “high test” when your car will run on the cheap stuff?
It comes down to quality and octane. A gallon of gas contains a certain amount of energy; higher quality gas provides more miles per gallon. Octane is a measurement of how much pressure gas can handle before exploding. A can running on low-octane fuel can cause gas to explode before the spark plugs fire, causing engine damage, hurting efficiency, and costing you money.
While filling up with “high test” might hurt your wallet now, it can make your life easier in the long run. Consult your owner’s manual or dealer mechanic to determine the best gas for your car. And if you find yourself getting excellent mileage, keep going back to your last gas station. Their clean, high-octane gas is keeping your car healthy.
Toyota Motor Corp. has regained its position as the world's most valuable auto brand despite the carmaker's massive recall campaign.

On April 14, 2011, Ardmore Toyota had students from Harriton High School, of the Lower Merion School District, come and visit the dealership. The students spent the afternoon learning about the automotive business for their class, which focuses on real world situations and budgeting for different everyday needs.
The students learned whether they were better off leasing or buying a car, why it was valuable to put an extended warranty on a car and the importance of car insurance and GAP (Guaranteed Auto Protection) in the event of an accident. In addition, the students learned about maintenance on the car and the costs involved with oil changes, tire replacements and much more.
The students were given a full tour of the entire dealership and came away amazed at the size of the dealership, and the organizational setup for everything; from sales to service and parts. The day ended with lunch for all the students and a final picture of the students who participated in the event.
We look forward to having the students of Harriton High School return again to learn more about the automotive business.

In order to enter the Toyota Teen Driver Sweepstakes, teens played the online, interactive road challenge, Head’s Up, which allows teens to put their driving skills to the test and see how they handle distracting scenarios, such as sending text messages, changing a radio station or drinking a soda. By experiencing the consequences of their actions through the challenge, students learn best practices for safe driving. The individual’s score on the game did not determine their eligibility or chance of winning the grand prize.
“Discovery Education recognizes the importance of educating America’s youth on the dangers and consequences of distracted driving and we are thrilled that so many teens shared our commitment to safety by participating in the Toyota Teen Driver Sweepstakes,” said Mary Rollins, vice president of education partnerships, Discovery Education. “Heads Up! is an effective and engaging challenge that allow s teens to experience the consequences of distracted driving while fostering safe behaviors behind the wheel.”
