Friday, Aprii 19, 1991 - North Shore News — 33 Tune-ups can improve mileage The British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) estimates that proper tune-ups, at least every six months. can increase gas mileage by as much as PS per cent -areal saving. The six-month tune-up should include: spark plugs: distributor points and air fier: ignition tim- ing: autonatic choke; radiator thermostat; automatic brake ad- justers: carburetor air-fuel mix- tures plus an off change. This) quick and inexpensive tune-up can save real dollars - to say nothing of the potential car trouble that will be avoided. There are several more things BCAA advises to keep on top of fuel economy. First, consider your tires. Radi- als are more expensive than regu- lar tires but they last longer and offer better driving mileaee. Snow tires cut fuel efficiency. Do put them on in time for the first snow and keep them on as long as nec- essary. But then have them removed promptly. Check tire pressure monthly, when tires are cold, and make sure pressure is to manufacturer's specifications. Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance and decrease fuel efficiency. In cold weather, tire pressure falls. So be sure to check your tire pressure frequently over the winter months. Wheels that are properly aligned and balanced save tire wear and increase economy. Have them checked out. Oil influences mileage too. The cight engine oil for current temperatures will ease starting NEWS phate Cindy Goodman DAVE DALEY of O.K.
