Page 4 IRVING DAILY NEWS Mondayf August 6, 1979 Wrong gas By KATHIE MAGERS Automobile owners who use leaded gasoline in vehicles designed for unleaded fuel may be saving a little money for the present, but eventually going to have to pay the piper. Environmental Protection Agency officials estimate that somewhere between 10 and 15 per cent of the owners of vehicles designed for unleaded fuel have been using the leaded variety, and those estimates were made before the current gasoline shortages and steadily climbing gas prices. Martha Casey, of the Washington press office, told the Daily News that while it is illegal for service station operators to fill a tank designed for unleaded fuel with leaded gas, and for fleet operators to switch fuels in their vehicles, it is not illegal for an individual vehicle owner to fill his own tank with the wrong kind of fuel. It also is illegal for a fleet operator or station operator to alter the gasoline inlets or remove the unleaded stickers, but federal law prohibit the individual owner from taking this action. HOWEVER, SHE warned that this practice may force the car owner to spend money later on, negating any savings they might have realized by using the cheaper fuel.

only takes a few tankfuls of leaded gasoline to ruin the catalytic Ms. Casey said, noting it costs about $200 to replace one. Those repairs might have to be made, she said, before a vehicle could be sold. And in some states, where there is an emission check made as a part of a required inspection and maintenance program, repairs would be mandated to obtain an inspection sticker. In addition to damages to the catalytic converter, Ms.

Casey said, use of leaded fuel could force a driver to have his vehicle tuned up more frequently. She explained that the specifications for vehicle operation are tied to the engine working with a converter and other pollution control equipment, resulting in engine ping and knocks, and other trouble with performance when that equipment is removed or damaged. IN ADDITION to mechanical problems, the use of leaded fuel in vehicles not designed for it will result in an increased amount of nitrogen oxides being released into the air, and this material, when combined with hydrocarbons in the air, forms smog. already has noticed a difference in the air quuality out she said, because of fuel switching. EPA reports also indicate that fuel switching will result in more airborne lead being emitted, along with more carbon monoxide, all of which have adverse effects on health.

Ms. Casey also said the EPA has no power to regulate the sales of gadgets designed to facilitate fuel switching.

Obituaries Lucas Jay Becker fer Bidding Quiz You are South and the bidding has gone: West North East South 1 0 Dble 1 What would you bid now with each of the following four hands?

So, in responding to his takeout double, it is up to you to indicate how weak or strong you are in much the same way as if your partner had opened the bidding. heart bid relieves you of the obligation to bid and, with a poor hand, you'd pass. Any bid you make voluntarily over one heart shows at least moderate strength, and if you have an unusually promising hand for game you can show it by making a jump response. Thus, you would bid one notrump here if your king of clubs were the deuce, and that would represent your values very accurately. But with the given hand you should jump to two notrump to suggest that you have 11 or 12 points instead of only 8 or 9.

TTie lack of a heart stopper should not bother you. North almost surely has heart strength or length. 2. Double. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

heart bid is decidedly suspect, and the best way of telling your partner that East may be fooling around is by doubling one heart for penalties. If the bidding takes a new turn, you can then bid spades. North will thus learn that you have heart and spade length as well as the necessary high-card values for such a sequence. 3. Two spades.

You are a favorite to make four spades, once partner has made a takeout double, and one of the ways of showing your interest in a spade game is by making a jump response of two spades. Your six-card spade suit, the singleton heart and your 10 high-card points all indicate that on the verge of game in spades. Some players would bid four spades directly over one heart, and there would be nothing wrong with making this more forthright response. The one thing you should shun is a mere one spade bid over one heart. That would not come even close to reflecting the high promise of your hand.

4. One spade. You have just about enough high-card strength to justify a voluntary bid of one spade. The suit itself is nothing to brag about, but remember that your partner almost surely has good spade support. Funeral for Marilyn Lucas, 53, 609 Campana Court, was at 10 a.m.

important for consumers to understand that salespeople may be prone to bend the fuel savings by counting inflation aspects their he said. Fields said the tendency is for solar energy advocates to grasp at anything they can to promote solar energy use. But it is an economic mistake to use current high rates of inflation as a foundation for buying solar. Fuel costs are only part of the total inflation rate, and a homeowner certainly would not be saving the entire inflation rate by purchasing solar energy equipment, the Texas professor added.
