This accumulation of debris was discovered on one car dur- ing a voluntary check by Car Gare Council. - Because this air filter was the wrong type for the engine it allowed dirt 10 pass righî mbnt and through the carburetor. The resuit can be greatly increased gas consumption, rapid engine wear or both. Q uesîioning owners and checking cars in -parking lots and service stations, the Council Iearned that over half of interviewed motorists cannot remember when last îhey were asked by service station attend. ants 10 check under the hood.

One car had 55 pounds ýin' the righî rear, 12pounds in the left front. -18 of 65 were one quart or morelow on oul. - 27 of 65 had littie or no windshield washer fluid. Haîf the cars had'wipers in. only fair to poor condition.' *20 of 41 had corroded battery terminais. *18 of 54 were iow on coolant.

The Association encour- ages owners 10o keep records of services. and repairs made to, minimize car trouble and maximize, fuel efficiency. ccue~z Here's a shining'exampie of a shock absorber th at's gone out of business.'
