Re: A light foot and wheel geometry works wonders
Not necessarily a good idea, especially if you live in areas that see lots of salt on the roads come winter time.
My Saab 9-5 has so far covered a little more than 100000 km in five years.
This spring I had to replace my rear brake discs due to corrosion. My front discs only required a little brushing on the edges, but had corroded a little bit even there.
Amount of fuel saved: Negligible. Cost of new brake discs: Quite noticable. Of course, having a bit bigger discs than average plays into the equation too, but having proper stopping power can be a money saver in the end (my dad almost plunged into a Skoda that had decided it was a good idea to stop around a bend).
