For example, tires under inflated by only eight pounds can reduce gas mileage'by five percent and cut tire life by 25 percent or more. The amount of money we pay for gas and tires today, makes it worthwhile to check tire inflation. And ensuring your vehicle is running at peak efficiency is envi- ronmentally friendly too. How do you check your tire pressure? You may want to own a tire gauge, which is availabie'in most automotive - stores: -such as a retailer, department store, or automotive . parts wholesaler for under $10.00. Also, when your vehicle is on the hoist or lift for regular vehicle maintenance or repairs, ask your automotive service technician to check the tires for abnormal wear. More fuel is consumed as a result of incorrect alignment, which can result in at least a two percent tankful energy loss as well as reducing tire life. Of course, incorrect align- ment accelerates tire wear to an even greater degree. There are two easy ways to detect incorrect alignment df tire balance, indicating the need for cost saving wheel and front-end service: Is your car ready for winter? tSERVICE ogisgicTI Aar McLaughlin Chen -Olds Ltd. 527-1140 . 13 Main St. Seaforth 1) Looseness or excessive play in steering, or difficulty. in controlling the vehicle over bumps and around curves are indications of problems which need correcting. ,2).Vibration or the slightest shimmy are also indications of a problem. •When vehicles are on. the hoist, they should be checked for -front end and steering looseness, and shock absorber leak- age.

Thep, the muffler goes flying off. Annoying, and expensive, this kind of scenario can be avoid- ed with easy and inexpensive preventative measures. The loss of a muffler, and/or the pipes that go with it, is usually due to a bro- ken support bracket or hanger that secures•the exhaust system to the frame of your car. These flexible brackets are vulnerable to damage caused by the elements, flying stone 'and engine vibra- tions. Your muffler may still be perfectly good. it. is most likely the bracket, needs replacing. The exhaust system should be inspected whenever the car is on a hoist. Another warning noise, the roar of a blown muffler. or in its early stages a faint "pfft...pfft". can be deadly if not tended to immediately. These sounds may be caused by a small hole in the exhaust system. Colourless and (xlourless exhaust fumes, composed of carbon monoxide gases, can seep into your car and they can be lethal. The sooner you replace the. defective exhaust parts, the better. Sports Scoreboard Hockey Atom 1 Seaforth 9 fit. Forest 4 Seaforth goals: Man Chapin 2: Tiler Van Ontnen 2.
