Sea
sonally
adjusted
gasoline
Many
gasolines are blended
to perform
es-
pecial ly
well
for winter
or
summer driving
.
During seasonal change-over, we
suggest
that
you fill up at busy gas stations where
the
seasonal adjustment
is
more
likely to be
made
in
time.
TIPS
AND
ADVICE
Gasoline additives
A
major
concern among many auto
manufacturers is
carbon
deposit
build-
up
caused
by
t
he
type
of
gasoline
you
use.
Although
gasolines
differ
from
one
manufacturer
to
another,
they
have
certain
things
in common. All
gasolines contain
properties
that can cause
deposits
to col-
lect
on
vital
engine
component
s,
such
as
fuel
injectors and
intake va lves.
Although
most
gasoline
brands
include
additives
to
keep engine and
fuel
systems clean, they
are
not
equally
effective.
After an extended period of
using
inade-
quate
fuels,
built-up
carbon deposits
can
rob your
engine
of
peak
performance.
Note
Damage or malfunction due to poor
fuel quality is not covered by
