... I know next-to-nothing about cars and car maintenance, that is to say I am a newbie...
1) How hard is it to change the oil oneself? (Where to get the oil, and what type to use?) I Googled for this, and it looked fairly complex, and not particularly easy without some way to elevate the car...
2) Is there a good site or sites that track/monitor the price of gas locally and/or nationally, and make assessments about upward or downward trends?
Keep in mind that I was not actually driving until this past year; I generally do not believe in cars... that is to say, I am a firm believer in public transportation... but that's a different issue.
