JMCR Ohio Energy Department Holds Car Care Program COLUMBUS -- The Ohio Department of Energy is launching its first care care promotion this year. Aimed at conserving fuel, the project was reported by the person in charge as receiving con­ siderable cooperation from newspapers and the automotive industry. Project specialist Sam Vogel cited the enthusiastic coopera­ tion he is receiving from the Automotive Parts & Ac­ cessories Association (APAA) and, on the state level, virtually every Ohio automotive trade organization, automotive firm and retailer of automotive pro­ ducts. APAA is actively recruiting support from its Ohio members as well as national members with Ohio opera­ tions. The Ohio project was launched September I after several months' preparation. It will feature clinics and con­ sumer education programs sponsored throughout the state by business and civic organiza­ tions. While the 1981 efforts de­ pend on the result of the Fall program, Vogel said he is get­ ting much better response "than I could have anticipa­ ted." As one example, he cited several newspapers which changed the publication dates of their Fall Car Care sections to coincide with the state pro­ motion. Vogel gave a list of fuel- saving tips that are among those being given to Ohio drivers: • Combine shopping trips with other errands. • Avoid traffic jams. • Cut car weight by removing unnecessary items from the trunk. • If you have a choice, take the smaller car -- if it is more fuel efficient than the larger one. Gel a tune-up. Replace the air filter. Switch to radial tires. Check the air pressure in the tires. Install a vacuum gauge on your car's instrument panel. Inspect wheel alignment. Avoid jack-rabbit starts. Shut off your car's engine if you are going to be waiting more than a minute. Don't let the engine oil get low or dirty. When the engine is cold, don't wait for it to warm up. Start off slowly -- it will warm more quickly and efficiently and use less gas. Turn right on red -- and don't block that lane when you want to go straight ahead. Think of the other driver. Walking is good exercise. Don't spend several minutes trying to find a parking spot within a block of your destination. Ohio DOE Specialist Praised for 4Energy' WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Ohio Depart­ ment of Energy project specialist Sam Vogel is getting just what he deserves: "Cooper­ ation," the president of the Automotive Parts & Accessories Association said. Julian C. Morris said APAA would work to enlist the cooperation of its member manufac­ turers, retailers, distrib­ utors, sales represen­ tatives and trade media as well as allot staff time to help maximize the success of Ohio's first state-promoted car care program. Praising the state employee for his own ••nergy, Morris said "We pledge to actively sup­ port the goal of educa­ ting the Ohio motorist on ways to save luel and money while driving a safer, more efficient vehicle." Morris said he hopes the Ohio program will be the forerunner of pro­ grams conducted by other states. "By working with Ohio's Department of Energy," APAA's presi­ dent said, "we hope to help produce results that other states will find ap­ pealing. "Mr. Vogel is, in our opinion, putting to­ gether a program that will be relatively easy for other states to imple­ ment."
