my roommate and I are in disagreement, if we leave the a/c off or turn up the thermostat so that it doesn’t come on as much during the day and then turn it on when we come home in the evening, does it save money? does the a/c have to work harder and use up more electricity cool the apartment down in the evening?

My parents insist on keeping our house about 65 degrees in the winter in order to save on oil, which in turn saves money. About how much more would it cost to heat the house say 5 more degrees?
The house was built it the 1950, so It’s probably not very well insulated like newer homes would be.

I’ve been trying to find tips & info about how to care for your leather seats & interior in your car, however I haven’t found really anything.

I know how to clean them, but as far as conditioning them & doing other things to help make them last, I don’t even know where to start.

What leather cleaners & conditioners do you recommend? Where can I buy them? What tips & techniques do you suggest that I use to help improve & or maintain the quality & condition of my leather interior?

Thanks!

I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee – only gets like 15-16 mpg. I’m only 16 so I don’t have a lot of money for gas, so what are the best ways to save money on gas? Do those devices that you attatch to the engine to use water really work? If not, what are some other things I could do to save money?
