A variety of factors come into play when
a person is deciding which new or previous-
ly owned vehicle to purchase. While body
type, model year and make all are consid-
ered, shoppers should also look into what
type of fuel the vehicle needs.
Many drivers are aware of the different
grades of gasoline available at the pump.
Unleaded versions come in regular, plus
and premium varieties, which coordinates
to the octane of the gasoline. The octane rat-
ing of gasoline tells a driver how much the
fuel can be compressed before it spontane-
ously ignites, rather than igniting normally
from a spark plug in the vehicle engine.
Lower-octane gasoline can withstand less
compression than higher-octane gasoline.
Gas that ignites on its own rather than
from a spark from the spark plug causes
knocking and pinging, which can damage
the engine. Therefore it is important to use
the right octane level of gasoline for a ve-
hicle, based on the cars compression ratio
for the engine. Car engines that are rated in
a particular way will beneft from the cor-
rect octane in gasoline. Higher-performance
engines commonly found in race cars and
sporty, luxury vehicles will generally re-
quire a premium, high-octane gasoline
to run at their optimal performance. Most
cars on the market are built to take regular
87-octane gasoline.
A visit to the gas station clearly indi-
cates that higher-octane fuel costs more per
gallon than the lowest octane. Over time,
flling up with premium gas can be a sig-
nifcant factor in how much it costs to own a
particular vehicle. If you are looking to save
money, it is important to consider just how
much of your budget will be devoted to fuel
costs. A vehicle that requires premium gas-
oline instead of regular gasoline may end up
costing a few hundred dollars more per year
based on the size of the fuel tank.
It is important to note that using a higher
octane fuel in a vehicle that is not rated for it
will not increase performance -- it only will
end up costing you more. Thats because the
octane rating refers to how much energy it
takes to ignite the gasoline and at what point
in the compression cycle, not how much
power the gasoline will put out. Premium
gas will not improve gas mileage or give the
vehicle more oomph if the engine is not
designed to accommodate a higher-octane
fuel. In fact, engines that are not designed
for high-octane gas may actually lose power
because it burns so much slower and the ig-
nition timing is not tuned for it.
It is always wise to consult with the
owners manual to determine the type of
fuel that will offer the best performance in
the car. Those shopping for a new vehicle
should pay attention to octane ratings and
not assume that every car they test drive is
best when running on regular octane. n

Many drivers feel less comfortable be-
hind the wheel at night than they do during
the day, when daylight makes it easier to
see fellow motorists as well as pedestrians.
Nighttime can compromise a drivers vision,
and that reduced vision is a key factor in
traffc fatalities, nearly half of which occur
at night.
Though traffc accidents are a byprod-
uct of a host of factors, headlamp clouding
is one of them and a growing problem for
many motorists. Vehicles equipped with
plastic headlamp lenses can become hazed
and yellowed from the effects of sunlight,
ozone, road pollution and the chemicals
used in car washes. When driving at night,
cloudy headlamps combine with little or no
natural light to decrease visibility and pose a
signifcant safety threat to drivers, their pas-
sengers and fellow motorists. Drivers cannot
increase the amount of natural light at night,
but there are steps they can take to improve
their nighttime visibility.
Address cloudy headlamps. Plastic head-
lamp lenses, especially as they age, reduce
headlight output considerably, compromis-
ing nighttime vision and the safety of driv-
ers and their passengers. But as potentially
dangerous as cloudy headlamps can be, its
just as easy for drivers to address the issue
before it becomes a problem. Employing an
advanced technology that works with mini-
mal effort, the Philips Headlight Restoration
Kit is designed for do-it-yourselfers and can
help restore headlight lenses to like-new
condition in less than 30 minutes. In lieu of
a costly headlamp replacement, the Philips
Headlight Restoration Kit allows motorists
to quickly and signifcantly improve the
light output of their headlamps, taillights,
turn signals and refective lens covers.
Keep wiper blades fresh. Vision is already
compromised at night, when the lack of
natural light can make it diffcult to see pe-
destrians or animals on the road. That vis-
ibility is only further compromised by brittle
or ineffective wiper blades, which should be
changed every 90-120 days to ensure opti-

mal performance. Driv-
ers who live in areas with
heavy rain or snowfall
should inspect their wip-
er blades more frequent-
ly, especially if there is
pitting on the windshield.
Check the windshield
washer periodically.
The windshield washer is an often over-
looked aspect of vehicle maintenance.
Unfortunately, its typically too late by the
time many motorists notice an issue with
their windshield washer. Dont fall victim
to a faulty windshield washer in the middle
of a rainstorm or a blizzard. Inspect the
windshield washer periodically to ensure
its working properly and keep the fuid lev-
el topped off so its there when you need it.
* Think ahead. In addition to addressing
existing issues, drivers can take steps to en-
sure their nighttime visibility is protected
over the long haul. The Philips Headlight
Restoration Kit, for example, employs a
protective UV coating that can prevent fu-
ture clouding for up to two years. In addi-
tion to addressing the headlamps, consider
how your visibility is likely to be affected
during the worst possible snowstorm or on
a night with torrential rains. Keep those
conditions in mind when deciding whether
or not to hang any fuzzy dice or other trin-
kets from your rearview mirror. While such
items can add a touch of personality to your
vehicle, the decreased visibility such items
can cause is not worth the cost over the long
haul. n
