Owning a Car in East Peoria
Summers here bring about 23 days at 90°F or hotter. That is enough to finish off a tired battery or a weak AC compressor, so get both checked in spring rather than on the first hot day.
Lows drop to freezing on about 118 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over. East Peoria averages 26 inches of snow, and road salt eats brake lines, exhaust and the underside of the car. Rinse the underbody through the winter and have the brake lines looked at whenever the car is up on a lift.
The average commute in East Peoria is 21 minutes each way, and 80% of workers drive there alone.
