pie aren't oriented to driving sub
compact cars."
This apparent lack of concern in
fuel consumption keeps sales of
older eight-cylinder cars moving.
"Most of our customers are look
ing for higher priced automobiles
and used late models," said Mr.
Richmond.
Mr. Rice has found a lot of
younger people buy the older
model vehicles.
Other things popular in auto sales
this year include cars with air-con
ditioning.
"Air conditioning is a very
important option today," says Mr.
McGrath while Mr. Tolton says air
conditioning is the number one
option people ask for.
Hot-weather engine problems may be caused by fuel
If you drive a late model car with
port fuel injection, you may
encounter poor engine performance
during the warm summer months.
The problem, however, might not
be with your particular car's engine.
More than likely the fault is the
fuel you put in it at your local gas
station.
An area of major concern with
many current fuels is the variability
of gasoline detergent levels. Many
gasolines with insufficient deter
gency can foul modem engine port
fuel-injector systems with deposits,
which seriously impair perfor
mance in starting, running and
acceleration.
“We're working to push the stan
dards of automotive quality to new
heights,” says Dr. France. “High-
technology vehicles require high-
technology fuel.” While some oil
companies are presently marketing
gasoline of high-technology quali
ty, Dr. France emphasizes the need
for ALL companies to move
toward improving the detergent
qualities of their gasolines, which
would be formulated to keep fuel
injectors clean.
Dr. Wayne France, assistant head
of General Motors Research Labo
ratories' Fuels and Lubricants
department, says that disparities in
gasoline additive levels and volatil
ity can have adverse effects on both
driveability and emission levels
with today's high-technology, port
fuel-injected engines.
MOTORING
“A change to less volatile fuels
(those which have less vaporiza
tion) would decrease the hot-weath
er driveability problems some
vehicle owners experience in the
summer.” says Dr. France.
