Top 5 Ways To Clean the Air
Tune-ups and tires. Keep your vehicle in tune, get it inspected, and check the air pressure in your tires. An under inflated tire will cause your vehicle to get poor gas mileage.
The payoff: You’ll increase the life of your vehicle, get better gas mileage and clean the air at the same time. Proper tire inflation can reduce your car’s emissions by as much as half.
Report smoking vehicles. Call #SMOKE. The North Central Texas Council of Governments will advise vehicle owners of possible emission problems they may not be aware of in order to take corrective action.
Share. Carpool or use public transportation.
The payoff: Fewer vehicles on the roads mean fewer emissions. You’ll save a few bucks in gas and not have to search for a parking space.
Don’t top off. Topping off the tank releases gas vapors in the air and cancels the benefit of the pump's anti pollution devices.
Wait ‘til the P.M. Do not fuel your vehicle or mow your lawn during morning hours. Otherwise, all those emissions bake in the sun all day causing more ozone.
