Car care grows
more lucrative
for moors
Fuel savings increase
overall for motorists
who heed advice
Yet three out of four vehicles show
at least one defect adversely
'affecting fuel economy
The human mechanism has one particularly marvel-
ous feature. No matter how severe a pain is created by
illness or mishap, once the body has recovered there
is no tangible recollection of the hurt. Physical scars
may remain, but the intensity of the pain itself is for-
gotten.
The above-stated fact may help illuminate what
has been happening to the attitude of the motoring
public in recent days. Seemingly slipping from our con-
sciousness is the spectre of the gasoline shortage that
haunted us only a matter of months ago.
Likewise, the air quality problem that had a nation
in near turmoil in the 1960s has been put on our
mental back burners. (After all, haven't the auto com-
panies "saved us" by producing more economical,
cleaner burning cars?) '
. Improvements built into new cars
It is true, the car makers have made remarkable
strides in building cars that give more miles per gallon
and emit less pollutants.
But the facts show that the discomfort caused car
owners by scarce gasoline at increasingly higher prices
and the cost of pollution and poor performance is re-
pressed into the darkest corners of our consciousness.
Proof of the contention what car makers are ac-
complishing by making better cars is being undone by
the car buyer — can be found in measurements of
public attitudes and practices.
What nationwide tests show
For example, a nationwide test program of motor-
ists' maintenance habits shows a continuation of sloppy
maintenance practices. Three cars in every four show
at least one defect that adversely affects fuel economy,
emissions or performance. And the defects are due to
lack of good maintenance.
YET NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF CAR OWN-
ERSHIP HAVE GOOD CAR HABITS BEEN SO
LUCRATIVE TO THE OWNER:
Years ago, when fuel cost less than 30 cents a gal-
lon, even a 10 per cent savings in 'fuel was not too allur-
ing! Today, such a savings can amount to hundreds of
dollars annually.
The price of cars is climbing steadily. While it has
always been true that the automobile, next to the house,
is the second largest purchase the average person makes,
some of today's cars cost what a small house used to
cost. Therefore, car care is a form of protection of a
sizeable investment.
Potential for high return
Along with higher new car prices, used cars have
zoomed in price. The potential for getting a high re-
turn for a used vehicle has never been greater — espe-
cially when that vehicle has been well cared for.
There is no better time to get into good car care
habits than the fall and winter season.

• There is more stop and go driving which is
draining on fuel economy and on the ignition sys-
tem. So a tune-up is a smart investment a not
only for gas saving reasons but for surer starting.
• Slippery streets and highways demand sound
brakeS, shocks, tires and steering.
• Longer hours of darkness mean visibility is
challenged by misaligned, non-functioning lights,
cracked and dirty glass or worn wiper blades.
• Extremes in temperature mean cooling' sys-
tems must be in top shape.
