Dear Dub, Do you happen to know the record for time/miles between oil changes? A little voice told me that you would be the guy who would know. I really don't like to spend any money that I don't have to on my car, so I check the oil to make sure it's up near the full mark on the dipstick and add a bit when it gets a touch low which only seems like maybe twice a year, but my car has run great for the three years I've had it...

Dear Dub, I think anyone classifying the Chevy Volt as a "hybrid car" has it all wrong. GM calls it an "Extended Range Electric Vehicle" because it is not propelled by more than one source of power. It's always powered by electricity - the onboard generator never directly powers the wheels - it merely charges the batteries...

Dah-dah-dah... dah, dah DAH! This is..

Dear Dub, Well I thought about what you said last week and I think I'm going to trade in my not-really-a-clunker to take advantage of this free money they're giving out. No-Longer-Undecided Good luck with your new ride... and your new debt...

Dear Dub, What do you think I should do? I have a car that just qualifies for the cash for clunkers program. I really don't need a car payment right now, but $4,500 seems like a deal that's too good to pass up...

Dear Dub, Things are changing so rapidly in the automotive world. We're almost wondering if ten years from now if cars will be anything like they are now at all. Where do you think it's all heading Dub?..

Dear Dub, Every year, just when the weather gets nice and I can finally get out on the road and enjoy my car, the road construction starts up and the open roads aren't so open. And this happens every year, most of the time on the same road they worked on the year before. Detour Hater Well DH, for years there's apparently been a grass roots movement to try and stop this...

Dear Dub, I THOUGHT I bought my dream car a year ago, low miles, great shape, black with heavily tinted windows. I took off all the badges, bought some sharp wheels and put on low profile tires and some mods and started cruising. But right away, my mileage dropped like a stone and it's costing me a fortune at the pump...

Dear Dub, I hope you and your family have a great 4th of July holiday. We've changed the traditional cookout at our house and have a spread of healthy foods instead of greasy burgers, hot dogs filled with who know's what, and sugar filled sodas. I know it sounds weird, but you should try it...
