If ,~our car is one of
those ttcscribed by the U 3.
Environmental lbrotection
Agency (EPA) and other
sources as ~vasting as much
25 per corn of its gaso-
line supply, then such sav-
ing arc possible.
Simple mathematics
tell the sio~'.
Say your car travels
15.000 miles a year and
is capable of getting 15
miles per gallon.
If you are paying 60
cents a gallon tor fuel.
your annual expenditure
mo~t~ be %6~.
Should you l~ losing
25 per cent in gas
wasted, then you are
out $150.
According to that same
EPA report, keeping an
automobile tuned up can
improve fuel economy.
And a recent Champion
Spark Plug Company sur-
vey shows the average
cost of a tune-up today
is around $42.
So a tune-up every 10,-
000 miles plus necessary
minor adjustments along
the way can save you a

the U.S. and Canadian
average of 8.2 per cent
after a needed tune-up,
you'll still save more in
fuel costs than the price
of the work. Gas savings
under the circumstances
described above would be
just below $50 per year.
According to David L.
Walker. Champion's direc-
tor of automotive technical
services, gasoline savings
are only part of the value
of a good engine tune-up•
Mr. Walker said, "In
every test we've ever con-
ducked, ,~'w¢ ~ound a
tuned car has ]octteT ~oul-
weather starting success
than a car in need of a
tune-up. In fact, untuned
cars have twice as many
"won't starts' than tuned
cars•"
A road service call for
a start in a remote location
where a tow is needed may
cost about half the price
of a tune-up, he noted.
Tune-up benefits that
may not result in cash
savings still make driving
safer and more pleasure-
able.
Xn ~s~ conduced ~
~ampion, ena'xsffxon levels
were sharply reduced after
tune-up. Average carbon
monoxide (CO) emissions
were reduced 50 per cent
(at idle) and hydrocarbon
(HC) emissions were 47
per cent lower (also at idle)
after tune-up.
Performance is also im-
proved after tune-up, Mr.
Walker noted. In mooile
dynamometer tests con-
ducted by Champion, there
was an 8.6 per cent in-
crease in power and an 8.0
per cent decrease in pass-
ing distance after tune-up.

Belts help
reduce car
fatalities
HospitaLs In Australia
are reporting a drop of
24% in bed occupancy
since the introduction of
mandatory seat belt wear-
ing legislation.
In Vietort- the belt
wearing law has been in
two years, and they have
experienced a 20.8% re-
duction in road deaths. In
the rest of Australia the
seat belt law is just one
year old, and there has
already been a 17.2%
reduction in automobile
deaths throughout the
country. Serious injuries,
they stated, have been
reduced by about 50%.

"When a man has a 1~fe-
long affection for automo-
b~es, he has to find an-
other way to keep fond
memories alive.
That's why Harry Gins-
burg, an auto parts store
owner from Howell, Michi-
gan, has amassed what
may be the largest collec-
tion of auto emblems in
private hands. Glnsburg
has nearly 500 of these
emblems dating from the
turn of the century to
some designed for vehicles
not even on the road yet.
Macabre beginning
Birth of Ginsburg's hob-
by had a rather macabre
beginnLr~. He said, "When
I was a child in Klmbal,
West Virginia, there was a
dangerous mountain road
that took its toll of many
cars. Times were really
hard and we kids used to
scavenge what we could
from the wrecks. The little
emblems caught my eye
and I'd pop them off and
put them in my pocket."
Later when the Gins-
burg family moved to
Howell, his father Sol
Harry Ginsburg, Howell, Mich., auto parts dealer, helps
restore a 1916 Saxon. The car is in perfect, drivcable con-
dition, showing that a ear ean last indefinitely if it is prop-
erly maintained. Ginsburg owns what may be the largest
private collection of historic car emblems in the nation,
having nearly 500 of them.
day realized that the cars
they are driving could be
valuable classics some day,
they'd probably take bet-
ter care of them."
Mr. Ginsburg's eye for
posterity was demon-
strated vividly when he
heard the ear his son
purchased last year will
be a discontinued model.
"Let me take the em-
blem off it now?" father
Ginsburg asked son Scott.
Oinsburg is interested
in adding to his collection.
Anyone having an old car
emblem can contact Harry

As ears were scrapped,
young Harry would re-
move the emblems and
store them in an old car
trunk. Before he knew it
he had collected a sizeable
number of the decorative
symbols.
Worth hundreds
Mr. Ginsburg doesn't
know actually how valu-
able his collection is. He
said, "I have one hood
ornament from a Pierce
Arrow that I've been of-
fered several hundred dol-
lars for. But I'm not
interested in selling. My
son, Scott, loves my col-
lection almost as much as
I do and it's going to be
a legacy to him."
Although he owns clas-
sic emblems, he does not
indulge in collecting clas-
sic cars. He beams, "I love
to help friends restore
classic cars. If people to-
CARS, DRIVERS
ARE SAFER
While the current high-
way death rate of 4.5
fatalities per 100 million
vehicle miles is a grim
statistic, it's a vast Im-
provement over the 1930
figure. In that year, the
rate was 16.5 deaths per
100 million miles.
