Autos Kept In Tune Clean Air Effort
The Cuero Record discusses how neglecting engine tune ups worsens air pollution. It cites Champion Spark Plug data showing spark plug misfire raises emissions by 300 percent, and University of Michigan findings that a tune-up cuts pollutants by 55 percent. Regular tune ups every 10 000 miles, plus attention to PCV oil air and gas filters, reduce harmful emissions and keep engines running efficiently.
