Service
&
Appearance Care
Gasolines
for
Cleaner
Air
Your
use
of gasoline
with
deposit control
additives
will
help
prevent deposits from
forming
i n
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
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.
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 deposit
control additives and oxygenates, and if
they
have
been
reformulated to reduce
vehicle emissions.
Fuels
in
Foreign
Countries
[f
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.
To check
on fuel availability, ask an auto
club, or contact a major
oil
company
that
does business
in
the
country
where
you’ll
be driving.
You
can also write
us
at
the following
address for advice. Just
tell
us
where
you’re going
and give your
Vehicle
identification Number (VIN).
