Passage Three
Driving situations likely to increase pollution include:
IDLING:
You will save gas by turning the engine off and restarting it again if you expect to idle for more than 30 seconds. You will also prevent pollution by avoiding long idles. Try parking your car and going into restaurants, banks, and the like instead of idling in drive-up lanes.
STOP-and-GO DRIVING:
Driving in traffic is not always avoidable. But whenever possible, plan trips outside rush hour and peak traffic periods. Try to "smooth" your driving by accelerating and decelerating gradually anticipating stops and starts for traffic lights, changing traffic speeds, and so on.
AIR CONDTIONING:
Use of a vehicle air conditioner increases load on the engine. This can increase emissions and decrease fuel economy. Try opening the window or he flesh air vent to cool the inside of your vehicle. Also, park in tile shade, if you can, to prevent the car from heating up in the sun. Besides keeping the interior temperature of your car more comfortable, you will lessen the pollution and waste that occurs when gasoline evaporates from the engine and gas task.
HIGH ENGINE LOADS:
Your car bums more gas and emits more pollution when the engine is operating under high load; that is, when it is working especially hard. Extra load is created by running the air conditioner, quick accelerations, high-speed driving, climbing grades, revving the engine, and carrying extra weight.
COLD TEMPERATURES:
Emission control systems take longer to warm up and become fifty operational in cold weather. However, idling will not help. Modern vehicles need little warm-up; they’re most efficient when being driven. Idling for long periods in cold weather can actually cause excessive engine wear.
REFUELING:
Spilled gasoline pollutes the air when it evaporates. Watch what you do at the gas station to prevent spills and over fills. It’s best to avoid "topping off", especially in hot weather. Apply the same precautions against sloppy handling when refueling outdoor power equipment such as lawnmowers and out hoard motors.
