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 vehicles' is. more than a upcoming spring and nuisance; it's a threat to life, summer seasons offer, there With the added hoUrs of is no better time than now to, pleasurable driving the take your cat in to your inconvenience.

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.
