Advice on how to Save money on gas THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK of McHENRY 3814 W. Elm St. • 385-5400 "The Friendly Wednesday Bank" Significant savings on the cost of fuel for those who use motor transport to reach their objectives in the Great Outdoors, are in the cards for those who will observe some thor­ oughly tested suggestions. As a starter, those who may be buying new cars this year will find that the efficiency of motors has been stepped up substan­ tially by the makers. However, the driving habits of individual motor vehicle owners can have a profound effect on the miles per gallon they man­ age to get out of the new cars. Thus, much of the ad­ vice that is to be followed by those who own older cars is equally applicable to driving a new car. For example: * * • OBSERVING THE 55 MILE SPEED LIMIT can yield a 20 percent gain in fuel economy, say the ex­ perts, on faster driving. A STEADY SOFT FOOT on the accelerator also helps to conserve fuel, while... J A C K R A B B I T STARTS cause wasteful drain on the fuel supply, extra wear on the drive chain and the tires. Avoid them. • * * AVOID IDLING -- an- other caution -- idling causes wasteful drain on the fuel supply because it gets you nowhere. • • • IF YOUR NEW CAR has been driven 10,000 miles, it would be wise to take it in for a tune-up. • • * WHEN PLANNING a trip, the wisest thing an automobile owner can do is to take his car to a reli­ able service center for a complete check. * * * KEEP TIRES PROP- ERLY inflated. Tire pres­ sure checks cost you noth­ ing. Improperly inflated tires put a wasteful fuel drag on your car. • * * FINALLY -- wise driv­ ers headed for the Great Outdoors do their driving "on the top of the tank," which means when the gasoline level reaches the half way mark, they fill up. By doing so, they never get caught short of fuel. INFLATION...How do you fit a giant size quarter in to a pint-size piggy bank? That's what puzzles Jess Dean about the eleven-inch cast aluminum replica of the bicentennial quarter.
