How to get more miles per gallon in the 1990s

With rising fuel costs and the ever-present danger of interruption in the world's petroleum supplies, conserving petrol now is in every driver's interest. This new edition explores techniques for improving petrol mileage by as much as 100 percent. Sikorsky shows what you can do behind the wheel to conserve petrol, explaining the driving and parking techniques the Shell Oil Company Mileage Marathon test group used to coax a car to go almost 400 miles on a single gallon of petrol. New to this edition is coverage of recent fuel-conserving automotive equipment, fuel additives, engine treatments, lubricants, maintenance procedures, and on-board computers that can help save energy. With this book at their disposal, drivers can not only save money for themselves, but also help cut pollution.
