â€¢ Check Amazon Prices Over the Phone – This is a pretty cool trick… Next time you’re in the bookstore, check Amazon’s prices from your cell phone.

â€¢ Accuracy of EPA Gas Mileage Estimates – Did you know that 90% of all cars get worse mileage than predicted by the EPA? Check out this article for details.

â€¢ Buying a New Car: This Year or Next? – When shopping for a car late in the model year, should you buy the current (i.e., old) model, or should you hold out for the new one? Click through to find out.
