Fall Car Care Month Promotes Healthy Driving Do Hybrid Cars Promote Healthy Driving Too?
(ContentDesk) November 22, 2005 -- Fall Car Care Month, held in October, is a nationwide effort by businesses, civic groups, the government and the media to focus motorists on car health and safety. First started by the Car Care Council (http://www.carcarecouncil.org), this consumer education organization initially dedicated October as National Car Care Month, then added April as well. Now October is designated as Fall Car Care Month with the focus on motorists attention to preparing their vehicles for the winter months. The primary goal of Car Care Month has always been to promote the benefits of cleaner air, energy conservation, safer roads and consumer savings through proper car maintenance. By conducting sporadic road checks, unperformed maintenance can be discovered and once corrected will lead to conservation of energy, improved highway safety and benefiting the environment.
More than 400 check lanes are set up around U.S. cities to provide motorists the opportunity to have the safety of their cars checked. Proper car maintenance prevents pollution! Motor vehicles emit three major pollutants: hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. Hydrocarbons react with nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight and high temperatures to form ground-level ozone, which can cause many health problems, such as eye irritation, coughing and shortness of breath as well as permanent lung damage. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly gas, reducing the flow of oxygen in the bloodstream, and causing health concerns such as impairing mental functions and visual perception.
In most cities, motor vehicles contribute as much as 90% of carbon monoxide in the air. Up until the last few years, regularly maintaining vehicles was the primary way to prevent pollution. Recently, however, hybrid electric cars are offering another solution to reducing toxic emissions. Andy Grant and Taylor Reid, authors of the eBook, All About Hybrid Cars: Maximum Performance/Minimum Impact, explain how this works. Because of the use of an electric motor paired with the internal combustion engine, hybrid cars use less gas, thereby producing less toxic emissions, said Grant, a professional writer and award-winning author.
The electric motor takes over for the gas engine when starting up and accelerating. At their educational website http://www.AllAboutHybridCars.com, Grant and Reid offer an abundance of information on hybrid cars and alternative fuel vehicles. The site provides up-to-date new vehicle release data as well as a variety of products for anyone interested in hybrid electric cars and environmental concerns. "Fall Car Care Month is a great way to raise the awareness of car owners," said Reid, an Internet marketing consultant. "Not only will it make people aware of the need to take better care of their current vehicles, it will also make them more aware of the need to take better care of the environment. This is one of the primary reasons people are buying hybrid cars."For those who do not yet own a hybrid electric car and would like to help promote healthier air with their current car, the Car Care Council offers these tips to reduce the impact on the environment: avoid high speeds, drive smoothly, dont idle for long periods or rev the engine, keep tires properly inflated and drive less by using car pools or planning trips for efficiency.Anyone who may be considering purchasing a hybrid car can order the free report, "7 Critical Facts Everyone Should Know Before Buying a Hybrid Car" at http://www.AllAboutHybridCars.com/eBook.htm, where the eBook is also available.
This one-of-a-kind book offers a thorough explanation of how hybrid electric cars work, their history, the economic and environmental impacts and a description of the current and future models..

Claims of Ford Explorer Owners to Proceed as Class Action in California
Ford Motor Company suffered another setback in its effort to defend the Explorer sport-utility vehicle.
On February 8, 2005, the California Superior Court in Sacramento certified a class-action lawsuit pending against Ford, charging that it knew of a rollover defect in its Explorer SUVs that it concealed from consumers.
