AT 18-• The Canadian Champion, Friday, April 28, 2 Better ga (NC)-Getting better gas mileage while cutting pollution emissions is no longer a pipe dream for automotive manufacturers and the environmentally conscious. Every driver needs to do his/her best to help reduce emissions. One way to do so is by using Autolite Platinum and Double Platinum .spark plugs. New " plugs" can reduce emis- sions while promoting quicker starts and boost fuel economy. The platinum tip virtually eliminates gap erosion, which is the archenemy of fuel efficien- cy and pollution control. With gap erosion your engine is more likely to misfire. (A misfire occurs when a cylinder does not fire properly, mileage with Iess smog causing a Ioss of power and reduced fuel economy.) The unburned fuel caus- es increased levels of polluting emis- sions. With more and more provinces enacting or considering passing emis- sion control legislation it is a good idea to seek out and find ways to reduce the amount of air pollutants emitted by your vehicle's exhaust system. Not only will our planet benefit, but you will as well. With a single Autolite Platinum spark plug you can drive 100,000 kilometers before needing a spark plug change and with the Autolite Double Platinum your vehicle will go for 150,000 kilometers before it's time to get a new set of plugs. One word of warning however, the extentded life of the Autolite Platinum and Double Platinum spark plug does not mean that your engine should be neglected for the 1st 100,000 kilome- fers. Before reaching 100,000 kms, your car will need several oil and oil filter changes, probably a PCV valve and fre- quent under the hood inspections. Platinum and double platinum spark plugs cost a little extra but will give you double or triple the service life, increase your chances of passing government emission tests, promote easier starting and save you money on lower fuels costs.
