To
provide cleaner air, all gasolines
are
now required to
contain additives that will help prevent deposits from
forming in your engine and fuel system, allowing your
emisFion control system to function properly. Therefore,
you should not have to add anything to the fuel. In
addition, gasolines containing oxygenates, such as ethers
and ethanol, and reformulated gasolines may be
.
available in your area to help clean the air. General
Motors recommends that you use these gasolines if they
comply with the specifications described earlier.
