Will gas prices go down in 2015 in the Atlanta area

Gas prices seem to be one of the most aggravating topics you could talk to someone about, no matter where they live or what they drive. However, there are plenty of options for fuel-efficient vehicles for sale in Atlanta, which would help the high cost of fuel immensely, but what we are all really wondering is will gas prices go down in 2015 in the Atlanta area?

While we don’t have a crystal ball and we can’t predict the future, according to some economists, there is hope that gas prices will go down in 2015, all across the U.S. This is welcome news to all drivers who have been struggling with how to keep the cost of gas and getting around under control while still keeping up with all of their day-to-day activities.

Differences between Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang carbon wheels and regular wheels

As if the Ford Shelby GT350R wasn’t exciting enough, we learned some details that might make you even more inclined to splurge and lease or finance this vehicle once it is available.

The Ford Shelby GT350R is the most racetrack-capable car as of late and part of the reason for that is because it features carbon fiber wheels. Even more shocking is that these wheels will come standard with all Ford Shelby GT350R models!

This is the first vehicle from a mainstream automaker to have carbon fiber wheels as a standard equipment feature. The best part about the Ford Shelby GT350R is that it is complete street-legal. Surprising, right? We thought so. Read the rest of this entry >>

Used Ford F150 for sale in Winder near Athens GA

Getting a brand-new car can be a little bit costly, even if you do have thousands of extra dollars laying around (but let’s be honest, who does?).

Another cost-alternative option is to get a pre-owned vehicle. Now, we know that used cars in the past have sometimes had a stigma about them being of poor quality, being old and being outdated, but at Akins Ford, we don’t follow the rules of the past; we make our own.

The idea of wearable technology isn’t really anything new and it’s not really surprising, to us at least, that the automotive industry is now jumping on the bandwagon. Vehicles have advanced so much in the last few years that the idea of a vehicle that drives itself is an actual possibility.

The types of technology in new cars such as the Ford Fusion or the Ford Edge are revolutionary and for many drivers, the first times they are seeing features such as Active Park Assist, a voice-activated turn-by-turn navigation system, a front-facing camera that can see around corners, as well as an engine that starts with just the push of a button.

Differences between 2015 and 2016 Ford F150

There are a few different reasons why drivers may choose a pickup truck over a different vehicle such as an SUV or a spacious hatchback, and one of the main reasons is because of the power and space. A pickup is the kind of vehicle you want on your side for every occasion, no matter how big or small.

For the new model year, the 2015 Ford F150 is more refined and capable than just about any other model year vehicle. It is made from military-grade aluminum alloy rather than heavy-duty steel, which makes the vehicle up to 700 pounds lighter. This in turn increases the vehicle’s efficiency and makes it much more environmentally friendly. Read the rest of this entry >>
