Furey estimated seven to 20 per cent of a
car's fuel goes to feed emission control
equipment, or about $2 for every tankful
for, some motorists.
He said a well-tuned car without
emission controls causes no more pollution
than an out-of-tune car with the latest
antipollution equipment. — -_____—
Furey claims that after 10,000 miles the
extra gas consumed by emission control
_ equipment causes residue buildups which
actually negate the effect of the controls.
