Recipe for gasoline
Th.; most efficient recipe for' saving fuel concerns
both the condition of the car and the attitudes of the
.driver, says Olaf George William Fersen, German auto-
motive authority, with recommends the following to
reader.. of this supplement.
• He holds that if carefully applied, the recipe may
well mean a fuel-saving of up to ?Bpercent.' , •
FOR THE CAR
1. Low rolling resist-
ance. This means mainte-
nance of the prescribed
tire pressure,• brakes that
do not bind or grind and,
zn well adjusted, free-oving
wheel bearings.
* * *
2. Correct adjustment
Pof carburetor and igni:
tion. Clean air filter ele-
ments and maintenance, of
a sufficiently high engine
temperature (low temper-
atures increase. fuel con-
sumption).,
* * *
FOR THE DRIVER
1. Gentle. driving, espe-
cially when starting from
rest and early shifting in-
to the next-higher gear.
If transmission is Aida-
matie, /nuke it shift up-
•wards at low speeds and
use the kickdown sparing-
ly...Brake gently. Remeth-,‘
bet,: high engine revs-need
"more fuel anti a lot of
economy
energy y1114 wasted by
high yoking.

2. Select your speed ac-
cording to the developing
traffic situation. If lights
are red, don't rush up' and
brake, but let the• car roll
gently, so when the lights
change, you can accelerate
without changing gear.
* * *
3. Every car has a
"most economical" speed
range. Usually around 50
mph. Keep it to that speed
wherever possible. Never
"puthp" on •the accelert
fuel into the engine ---
at your cost. Driving at
ator. This squirts raw
changing speeds ' is un-
economical --„ driving at
a steady speed saves fuel.
A power steering system
is considerably more com-
plex than a, non-power,
system. But most power
steering maintenance can
be accomplished by the
motorist or his service
mechanic, and special
tools usually are not re-
quired.
The heart of a power
steering system is a hy-
draulic pump that supplies
the pressure to the wheels
when you turn the steer-
ing wheel. Power steering
pumps rarely break down
as long aryou make sure
they have the proper
amount of 'power steering
fluid to do the job. Peri-
odic checking of the fluid
level is usually all that is
necessary for regular
maintenance.
Check 'belt
Another item to check
periodically is' the belt
that connects the pump'
to the engine. If this belt
should break, your entire
power steering system will
cease to function immedi-
ately.
When checking the fluid
level and the drive belts,
check the hoses that con-
nect the pump to the
other components in the
system. Hoses should be
firm and free of cracks.
Connections should be
tight and leak-free, Leak-
age from hoses and con-
nections in the system is
the major cause of fluid
loss, the main cause of
power steering failure.
How to -tell
chattering or knocking
sound) or a change in the
"feel" of your steering
(sluggishness, jerkiness or
a tendency to pull to one
side).
If. any of these symp-
toms occur, get your power
,steering system .checked;
early attention can pre-
vent big problems later.
