Service
&
Appearance Care
. . I
‘ i
Gasolines
for
Cleaner
Air
Your
use
of gasoline
with
detergent
additives
will
help
prevent
deposits
from
forming
in
your
engine
and
fuel
system.
That
helps
keep
your
engine
in
tune
and
your
emission
control
system
working
properly. It’s good
for
your
vehicle,
and
you’ll
be
doing
your part
for
cleaner
air.
Many
gasolines
are
now
blended
with
materials
called
oxygenates.
General
Motors
recommends
that you use
gasolines
with
these
blending
materials,
such
as MTBE
and ethanol. By doing
so,
you
can
help clean
the
air,
especially
in
those
parts of the
country
that
have
high
carbon
monoxide
levels.
M8
In addition,
some
gasoline
suppliers
are
now producing
reformulated
gasolines.
These
gasolines
are
specially
designed
to
reduce
vehicle
emissions.
General
Motors
recommends
that you
use
reformulated
gasoline. By
doing
so,
you
can
help
clean
the
air,
especially
in
those
parts of the
country
that
have
high
ozone
levels.
You should
ask
your
service
station
operators if their
gasolines
contain
detergents
and
oxygenates,
and
if
they
have
been
reformulated
to
reduce
vehicle
emissions.
Fuels
in
Foreign
Countries
If
you
plan
on
driving
in
another
country
outside
the
U.S.
or Canada,
unleaded
fuel may
be
hard
to find.
Do
not
use
leaded
gasoline.
If
you
use
even
one
tankful,
your
emission
controls
won’t
work
well or
at
all. With
continuous
use,
spark
plugs
can
get
fouled,
the
exhaust
system
can
corrode,
and
your
engine
oil
can
deteriorate
quickly. Your
vehicle’s
oxygen
sensor
will
be
damaged.
All of that
means
costly
repairs
that
wouldn’t
be
covered
by your
warranty.
