Huron Health Unit issues food recall notices The Huron County Health Unit has received six alerts from the Ministry of Health and CFIA involving food recalls. Consumers who have purchased the products involved in the recall should return them to the store where they bought them. You should return cans of Nestle, 385 ml GoodStart Liquid CAA Central Ont. offers tips for cutting high gas costs As high gasoline prices hit motorists in the pocketbook, CAA Central Ontario offers the following 10 tips to help motorists get more bang for their buck at the gas pumps: 1. Don’t let your car idle for more than a minute. Idling consumes at least a litre of gasoline an hour and wastes more gas than restarting the engine. 2. A smooth running engine and clean air filter can improve fuel efficiency. An out-of-tune engine can use three to eight per cent more gasoline. 3. Make sure your tires are proper­ ly inflated. Under-inflated tires are a safety hazard and can reduce fuel economy by as much as two per cent for each pound of pressure below the recommended level. Check your owner’s manual to find out how much tire pressure you need. 4. Don’t overpay for premium fuel. Fewer than 10 per cent of cars on the road today actually require higher-octane fuel. Yet premium gasoline accounts for 16 per cent of gasoline sold in Canada, even though it costs more per litre than regular fuel. Check your owner’s manual and buy the lowest grade of gasoline it recommends. 5. Travel at steady speeds on the open road. Higher speeds require more gasoline to overcome greater Concentrate with expiry dates of • Nov. 13 and 14, 2000; Dec. 14, 2000; Jan. 14 and 15, 2001; and Feb. 11 and 12, 2001; and • Nestle 385 ml Follow-up Liquid concentrate with an expiry date of Jan. 31, 2001; March 14, 200 l;and April 8, 2001. Public health inspectors are direct­ ly involved in ensuring that these resistance. Slower speeds create a traffic hazard, especially if you’re in the passing lane. 6. In the city, avoid jack-rabbit starts and sudden stops. These practices waste fuel. When possi­ ble, coast to a red light rather than rushing up to it. 7. Reduce the distance you drive by combining errands, which may also save you time. Find one loca­ tion where you can take care of most of your errands or shop closer to home.

If you own more than one car - especially if one of your vehicles is a less efficient fuel-efficient truck, SUV or van - use the more ener­ gy-conserving vehicle as often as possible. 10. Shop for low gasoline prices locally, but don’t waste gas driving to a distant filling station to save a few cents.
