Tests Show How to Save Are you driving an economy car on a luxury car budget? Chances are this is the case if you aren't driving. and serv- icing your car properly. Get- ting the best performance from your car at the.least pos- sible expenditure depends .on how you drive and how you care for your car:: 'Take the-matter of, gasoline ''consumption. Tests conducted on an international basis by Champion Spark Plug Com,- pany last year showed how condition of the car affects gasoline mileage. Champion transported a dy- namometer on wheels to shop- ping centers in the United States, Canada and Mexico to test. effects of tune-up on gas- oline mileage. Results of. Tests Cars were tested'for gasoline consumption before tune-up, after installation of new spark plugs and after a complete tune-up, Average improvement after installation of new spark plugs alone was 6.2 percent in the U.S. and Canada. Average improvement after complete tune-up was 8.2.percent. Thus, close to two gallons in every tankful of gasoline can be saved when the engine is kept in tune. Proper maintenance can al- so, save as much as 20 percent in tire life. Keeping tires at recommended air pressures not only saves wear on tires but actually helps improve gasoline mileage. Underinfiat- ed tires, especially are thieves of gasoline. In 'addition to proper infla- tion, balancing the wheels and correct wheel alignment are essential to maximum tire wear. Experts estimate that tires subjected to unbalancing and wrong alignment could easily wear out sik months pre- maturely. Another ingredient to eco- nomical driving is using the best grades of oil available and changing that oil and filter at .recommended intervals. Good oil, properly maintained, can save inestimable yet substan- tial wear on vital engine parts. Neglect of oil could lead to a premature 'deterioration of rods and pistons and could re- quire a major engine overhaul. • In fact, any program of pre- ventive maintenance is the most' economical investment you can make. Lubrication performed on time saves steer- ing and chassis 'components. Attention to brake condition Makes each service reasonably -priced instead of excessively costly as in cases where drums are scared through neglect. Biggest Payoff The above are but a few ex- amples of potential savings through systematic preventive maintenance. The biggest payoff for a well-cared-for car would come at trade-in time. A car that is in good condition could bring •an additional several hundred dollars over a neglected car. There's another bonus that can't always 'be measured in dollars and. cents. That's the security realized from driving a safe, well-performing auto.
