Choose the right color car

Did you know that the color of your car can lower your gas bills?

According to Treehugging Family, if you live in a warmer climate, choose light colors for your car, for both interior and exterior. Dark colors hold heat while light reflects it. You'll use less air conditioning and therefore less gas. Even if you live somewhere that can get cold in the winter, a light-colored car is still better because the heat comes from your car engine.

In super-cold climates, go the opposite way, choose a dark-colored car.

Are you serious? I've known that information since birth. Looks like the "Treehugging Family" needs some updating...

A lot of tree-huggers don't have cars so it takes awhile for us to figure this stuff out!

They must have had too much of the hippie lettuce.

I learned that in 6th grade physical science.
