(April 11, 2017) ORLANDO, Fla.— According to a new AAA survey, 64 million American drivers would not be able to pay for an unexpected vehicle repair without going into debt, indicating that some drivers may underestimate the full cost of owning and operating a vehicle.

Because some car repairs are unavoidable, and the average repair bill is between $500 and $600, AAA urges drivers to save at least $50 a month for unforeseen expenses, and identify a trusted repair facility before trouble strikes.

(April 6, 2017) NEW YORK — Public highways in New York could soon be open to testing self-driving cars according to a measure in the budget New York State lawmakers are negotiating in Albany. New York's decades-old state law requiring drivers to keep at least one hand on the wheel has kept self-driving cars off of the state's roadways. The budget measure would allow the change for autonomous car testing and demonstration.
 

(April 4, 2017) Gas prices are on the move, reaching an average price of $2.33 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Today’s price is four cents more than a week ago, one cent more compared to one month ago and 27 cents more than the same date last year, according to a survey by AAA.

National gas prices have increased six of the last seven days. Although the increase in prices has been moderate, it is possible this trend could continue as refinery maintenance wraps up, more expensive summer-blend gasoline becomes available and driving demand increases this spring.
