Driving Small European Cars

Thursday September 25, 2008
There's no question that cars have been getting bigger and heavier all over the world, despite the fact that fuel is getting precious. Still, if you come from the US, you might not be used to operating the smaller, high performance engines found in European cars that you rent or lease, especially when you're looking for value and economy. I've put together some tips on getting these little gems up a hill and getting good mileage out of them, plus I've added some info on speed limits and blood alcohol limits for drivers in Europe. See: How to Drive European Cars.

And remember, most of all...keep the shiny side up!
