14 Supplement of the Can<, Statesman, April 28, 1976 From Caiforrnia corne these .. Fourteen points, to help you e'ut pollu tion,ý save on fuel If operating your car for 10w pollution, doesn't turn you on, then consider this. The same driving procedures that contnibute to dlean air also help save, fuel. T'he' California Air Résources Board has com- piled-the following list of "do's and don'ts" to help make you a good citizen and a fuel saver too. Keep car in good running order. Dirty carburetors, clogged air filters and wo: - out points and plugs not only waste gas and re- duce engine performance, they also contribute to air pollution. Have smog systems -serv- iced rcgularly. Smog de- vices reduce emissions only if they remain in working order. Don't drive a "smoker." The real danger to our air 40 States Now Ban Bald Tires 10 TO GO-Alabama has becomne the fortieth. state to ban bald tires, with ai one-sixteenth inch minimumn tread depth law effective Jan. 1, 1976. Thirty nine states anid the District of Columbia now require a minimum tread depth of 1/16 inch, by law or regulation. One state, California, requires a 1/32 mini- mumi. States shown in white have no officiai safeguards against bald tires. Source: Tire Industry Safety Council a Washington, D.C. 20045 is not the visible smoke, but the, invisible fumes. However, smoke means eii- gine trouble, and engine trouble means pollution. Neyer be a "gas-pumnper." Many drivers produce needless pollution by pumping the gas throttle, sometimes several times, before starting. Hydrocar- bons are spewed ail over thenegbrod To be a "dlean" driver, depress the throttle only once. This sets the choke. Let your throttle corne up haifway or ail the way, following instructions, of your vehicle owner's man- ual. Now turn the key. A well-tuned engine wîll startinstantly. Skip the warnllp. Thanks to improved oils, no long warmup is needed with tdyscars. Driveway warmups of longer than 20 seconds are unneces- sary. Use an easY' takeofT. Cold engines are high polluters, especially when pushed fast. 'When your engine is cold,, use a light touch on the gas pedal for a couple of miles. Otherwise, you may leave a long tral of fumes behind you before your engine warms up. Don't "blast off." Kicking the tilrottle ail the way down makes the tailpipe spit fumes. Keep Ievel speed. The less you change speed, the less you'il f oui Upo the air. Your car produces f ar more smog wvhen itS accelerat- ing or decelerating than when it's driven steadily. It also uses more fuel. Swear off stidden slow- downs. When, at high speeds, you take your foot off the gas suddenly, emis- sions zoom. A graduai stop causes a.littie extra pollu- tion, but nothing like the pollution your car spits out when stoppeél sudden- ly. Anticipation and prep- aration are the mark of a good driver. Avoid idling. When you wait for a freight train to pass or stop at the, curb to chat with your engine idling, you add a heavy load of poilutants, espe- cially carbon monoxide, to the air. Turn off your en- gine while waiting, when- ever practical, Avo0id siop) siglis and traf.. fie ligt, whenever you can. Seek routes that help you keep your car mnoving, ,Steadily. Wlien YOU travel routes wthj many traffic lights, try to pace your driving to "hit the green.", A steady flow of traffic cuts pollution. Do cry over spilled gaso- line. Remind your service station attendant not to overfill or "topout" your tank. To avoid overflow when your tank is full, avoid parking on a steep siope. Share the ride, take the bus or schedule your trip to avoid peak tral3lc hours. Reducing the travel dur- ing rush hours will help reduce air pollution.' Choose low-Iead or no-lead fuels if your car will run efficiently on -them. Some advice worth repeatin OB3SERVE THE 55 mile an hour speed limit. Avoid high speed driving. You'll save a lot of fuel and- get to your destination just as quickly. AVOID JACK RABBIT STARTS - they are doubly wasteful. They burn up excessive gas and they also cause -excessive, wear on tire, treads. A S OFT AND STEADY foot on the accelerator will ý'ie1d you more miles per galion than erratic pressure. UNNECESSARY IDLING of the mnotor gets you no- where, yet it consumes fuel.
