new Chevy has a special CC you need special gas Sounds technical to you It isnt really new 1975 cars have been equipped wllh a new anil pollution device known as the catalytic converter and a car with a CC device takes gas only So where do you buy unleaded gas Not Just at any pump In a survey of Georgelown service stations The Herald has turned up five stations offering the special gas this week However the number Is growing and before long cording to gas dealers every station will probably carry It The catalytic converter is the latest addition to long line of pollution control systems that have appeared on North American cars since 1907 The cars running on unleaded gasoline have a smaller size Intake pipe to he gas lank preventing accidental use of leaded gasoline that would after two or three fill ruin he pellets Inside the converter To replace pellets costs between and The five Georgetown stations Belling unleaded gas Include two GM dealers Joes Gulf staion on highway station in Norval and Rogers Shell unleaded gas on Gueiph Street expects to sell unleaded gas by next Spring Moore Park Texaco hopes sell It by the end of November and Grant Shell on Gueiph Street reports 11 will be selling unleaded gas by next year Other gas stations In report Ihey don Peter Dellio of Masson shows the smaller gasoline intake pipe Peter Dellio a salesman for Maison Motors and says before too long everyone will be selling unleaded gas I dont think there will be much of a problem sees a problem for drivers who need premium gasoline People who want on the GM cars These cars only take unleaded gasoline premium leaded gas will face problems because the gas stations when they start selling unleaded gasoline will phase out the premium gas rather than get extra pumps The GM converter not only cuts down on pollution but because It replaces all the pollution systems found on ears prior to and takes unleaded gas gives better mileage and longer spark plug life according to the manufacturer A customer of Masson motors Jim Apart ment 38 Plymouth Court Gueiph said he was very pleased so far with his Brougham So far its been very good be said It starts good In the cold weather gives good gas mileage better than miles to the gallon Mr added that I havent had any problem with finding unleaded gasoline and so far everything fine Improvements in gas mileage and better cold weather starting are a result of the absence of lead build up on the spark plugs according to by the conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons Into harmless carbon dioxide and water as the exhaust gases pass through a chamber with a ceramic coating that contains platinum and palladium pellets which act as the catalytic converters Constant use of leaded gas results in the destruction of these pellets which then need to be replaced Its something new so naturally people are a llt sceptical about it said sales manager is optimistic about the future of the catalytic converters I think that pretty soon the other three automobile manufacturers will follow suit in Canada with converters of their own he added dealers are providing with each car purchased a booklet containing the names of all gas stations in Canada that are presently selling unleaded gasoline The booklet will be updated as more stations start selling the unleaded gas ac cording to the company New condominium project
