Can you imagine the savings now? Check tire pressure regular- ly. Uneven pressure may cause difficult steering and shimmy when you brake. In cars equipped with fuel evaporative-emission sys- tems, you may hear a swish- ing sound when you open the gas tank cover. Don't worry, it's normal. When a car loses power, runs rough, and often overheats and stalls, the problem is likely to be ignition timing. Add to the list of illegal, expensive habits: driving over 55 miles per hour just because the road isn't crowd- ed. High speeds cut into gas efficiency - and you might get a ticket, too. Inexpensive habit - bringing your car to our mechanics to keep it running well. You'll save on mileage and add life to your car.
