In addition to slowing down, there are a number of ways to conserve precious fuel. Properly inflated tires can make a big difference to a vehicle's fuel effi ciency. For example, an average passenger-car tire could lose about onethird of its life at 20 pounds per square inch o f inflation. Tires should be inflated to the vehicle manufac turer's recom mendations print ed on a vehicle's door placard or in the owner's man ual. Try these other gas conserving techniques: Tune up the engine. A rough running engine uses more gas than a properly tuned engine. Replace air filters. Dirty air filters can cause the engine to run at less than peak efficiency. Use the correct viscosity oil since higher v i s c o s i t i e s ance to the moving engine parts. Use power accessories conserva tively. They cause the alternator to work harder to provide electrical cur rent. That adds load to the engine, which increases fuel use. Avoid jack-rabbit starts. Smooth, steady acceleration uses less fuel. Turn your engine off. Unnecessary idling of the engine will use excessive fuel. earned the highest U.S. Government Crash Test Rating tor froht impact - Double Rve Star Safety Rating.* Purchase financing for 60 months PLUS $0 Payments ior 90 Days so Down Payment on all new in-stock 2002 Taurus a 2002 Windstar Freight, adm inistration fees and applicable taxes apt 2002 WINDSTAR windstar is the only minivan to earn a Rve Star Crash Test Rating eight years in a row for front impact for both driver and front passenger in U.S. Government testing.*^ * DownPayment Security Deposit First Month Payment (Ford m a te s your lirs l paym ent) On m ost new in -s to c k 2 0 0 2 Ford including Focus.
