Check out the latest edition of Canada's annual Fuel Consumption Guide before mak- ing a purchase decision. Published by Natural Resources Canada's, Office of Energy Efficiency, the 2001 guide pro- vides fuel consumption ratings for almost every new car, light- duty truck and van sold in Canada. It's available free of charge as a service to help con- sumers shop for a fuel-efficient vehicle. If you're like most Canadians, purchase price will be' one of your most important con- siderations. But the Fuel Consumption Guide helps you consider the vehicle's "second price tag" as well - its annual fuel costs. To make comparison shopping easy, the guide provides fuel consumption ratings and estimat- ed annual fuel costs for hundreds of different makes and models. This allows you to quickly see how much money you can save by purchasing a fuel-efficient vehicle. Is it worth the trouble? Most con- sumers would say "yes." Fuel a 30 Taylor 5-1 : [2] re Check out the 2001 Fuel Consumption Guide consumption can vary dramatical- ly from model to model, and choosing the right vehicle may save you several hundred dollars per year in fuel and maintenance costs. Reading the guide won't replace a visit to your local car dealer, but it can help you narrow down your choices. Look for the guide on- line at http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/vehicles, ask your car dealer for a copy or order it by calling 1 800 387-2000. A spring tune-up will pay for itself Canadian winters can be hard on a car - cold weather, snow and ice all take a toll on your vehicle. That's why it's important to check your car into the local garage for a rejuvenating spring tune-up. It's a decision thdt may cut your fuel costs in half, since a poorly tuned engine can use up to 50 percent more fuel than one that is running properly. Even minor problems like a clogged air filter can have a big impact on fuel consumption. A spring tune-up will pay for itself every time you pull up to the pumps over the next few months. Regular vehicle maintenance offers other benefits as well. Your car may appear to be running well, but a routine check by your mechanic could identify a prob- lem that, if left uncorrected, might lead to a costly breakdown. Well-maintained vehicles are also worth more on the resale market. And the environment will be a winner too, since poorly operating vehicles produce more pollution, including greenhouse gases that are contributing to cli- mate change. A typical spring tune-up will include a change of the engine oil and filter, a new air filter and pos- sibly adjustments to the vehicle's fuel-injection system and elec- tronic ignition. If the vehicle's emissions system 'hasn't been checked in the past year, ask the mechanic to include this in the work. With the hot summer weather coming, you may also want to have the air conditioning system tested.
