bad for
your
vehicle. Don’t use
it.
It can corrode metal parts in your
fuel system and also damage plastic

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.
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.
