Here are some suggestions; Keep cars in a garage if possible. Motorists who do not have a garage should park the vehicle with its back to prevailing winds and its hood against a building.

Don't keep starter turning over for more than 10 seconds at a time. d and the Keep the car battery charged and filled. measured sampling. According to David L. Walker, Champions director of Automotive Technical Services, On a nationwide basis our preliminary finding is an average 11.7 percent in fuel economy after tune-u- p in cars that were overdue for the service. In several cars, fuel savings of more than 50 cent were recorded after a tune-up- . The Champion tests indicate that the current-yea- r models are emitting considerably less C.0 and is it possible to double the mileage obtained from a gallon of gasoline? Such expectations may seem out of reach for most motorists, but evidence exists that Bi.rh fuel savhigs are possible.
