    FINAL WORD

    SAVE THE PLANET



    HONK IF YOU LOVE ENVIRONMENT

    Motorists can help the environment and their own finances by changing a few habits, according to officials with the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Tips:

  • Keep the engine running at peak performance. A well-tuned engine pollutes less and uses less gasoline than a neglected vehicle.

  • If you do your own repairs, dispose of engine fluids and batteries properly. A single quart of used motor oil can pollute thousands of gallons of water.

  • When waiting for friends or family, shut off the engine. Consolidate daily errands to eliminate unnecessary driving. And, yes, walk more often.
