In nationwide fuel economy 'tests, motorists' cars were tested before and after a tune-up. Results showed that a tune-up with new Champion spark plugs saved, on the average,• a gallon of gasoline in every tankful. Considering that 3 of every 5 cars on the road need a tune-up right now, tune-ups alone could save us millions of gallons of gasoline each week. , Tune-ups benefit us in other ways, too. Quicker acceleration for safer passing, Dependable starts. Plus a substantial reduction 'in emissions. See your mechanic regularly for a Champion tune-up. Once a .year or every 10,000 miles.

A car, any car, given the atten- tion it needs will respond like a healthy dog and run well, Neglected, it will be- come dull and lifeless„ We are very economy minded in Britain; and es- pecially boast about the number of miles we can squeeze from each gallon of fuel, and economy begins with a well tuned engine. Probably the most impor- tant thing in tuning is to make sure that the ignition system is working proper- ly. Some people will leave things to themselves until, one day, the engine refuses to start, but long before that happens fuel is being wasted by not being fully burned. Plug Cheek Advised Spark plugs are supposed to have a working life of around 10,000 miles but it is quite possible that they 'will be "off-song" well before that. An electronic engine di- agnosis is not expensive and if carried out every 5,000 miles, any weak spots can be located and rectified before they develop. Con- tact breaker points in the distributor are usually changed at 5,000 mile in- tervals but I prefer to change mine every 3,000. They cost little and the benefits are sure starting and better combustion. • 5,,. &Simple thing. which Will cause all over-glen .cartni” Teter mixture ,and, there- fore, high "fuel =sump,' Om, is a dirty air cleaner, This will restrict the air in- take so that excessive fuel is drawn into the -celnbUS, Non chambers and, in Addi- tion to high consumption, ,performance will be down and ,engine' wear up due to dilution of the sump oil, An engine which reaches its full running temperature quickly is better all round. 'To encourage thiS, I recom- mend fitting an adjustable radiator blind, especially for winter driving, If you do; -1 also recommend fitting a temperature gauge if you haven't one already to avoid over-cooking it! Right Tyre Pressure Another very simple maintenance job which re- pays handsomely, is keep, ing the right tyre pressures. If they are too high or too low the treads will wear more rapidly and, believe it or not, the extra drag from soft tyres will increase fuel consumption. But without doubt,. the biggest factor in keeping down gas bills is your right foot, It has been proved- over many Economy Events that light 'acceleration cou- pled with good traffic anti- cipation 'will result in say- ings of 25 per cent and more.-So treat the gas ped- al as if it had an egg on it!
