service outlet for a tune•up,
Do your car, yourself and
tune-up for fall and winter.
Here's a one-question car
care quiz, The chief benefit
of a tune-up is:
1,, Better gasoline
mileage.
2. Quicker, more trouble,
free starting,
3. Better pick-up and
passing power.
4. Emission of fewer
harmful pollutants.
If you are an astute
observer of the car care
scene, you realize that there
are no wrong answers to the
question. Other than
purchasing a newer car,
there is no better way to
improve your car's perform-
ance than getting a thorough
professional engine tune-up.
Until recently, the tune-up -
was virtually a discretionary
service or one to be
performed when engine
condition deteriorated so
badly that the car couldn't
start or continually stalled.
But unlike a disabled car,
the world doesn't stand still.
Drivers are quickly absorb-,
ing. the painful lesson that
fuel is not as cheaply avail-
able or as plentiful as it once
was. The supply of oil is
steadily dwindling. Drivers
all over the world are paying
closer attention to ways of
preserving the oil supply.
In North America alone, it
is estimated that if all cars •
were tuned, 300,000 barrels
of fuel could be saved daily.
The fuel that's wasted is
costing drivers in the United
States and Canada an
additional two billion dollars
a year.
Of equal importance to the
world's well-being is the role
the tune-up assumes in keep-
ing the environment clean.
Only a few years ago the
symbol of a flourishing
society was the smoke stack,
indicating busy industry.
Now we have learned of the
dangers to hUman health and
to natural and man-made
assets that come from air
pollution. And the motor car
has been a contributor to air
pollution.
In recent years, however,
car makers have devised
systems to minimize harmful
emissions. But these systems
must be maintained to stay
effective. And the engine
tulle-up is the least costly
way to keep pollution levels
manageable.
The tune-up also makes
"good citizens" of cars and
their owners in other ways.
A car that bogs down on a
busy freeway at rush hour
due to ignition failure does
not endear itself to the
thousands of drivers it may

Fouled plugs
pollute air
As we all remember from
junior high school science
class, metal expands with
heat and contracts with cold.
So a cold engine has a lot of
slightly loose parts that need
the best lubrication possible
to prevent rapid wear.
The final horror of the cold
engine is the fouling of spark
plugs, which may ensue.
Plugs fire poorly, foul rapidly
and compound the problem.
Fouled plugs, rapid wear
of engine parts arid ineffi-
cient engine operation result
in a condition that has
become more Critical than
cold feet or tight budgets.
It's air pollution, because
this kind of engine kicks a lot
of unwanted smoke out of the
exhausts pipe.
