Question 18(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) (Lesson 8.3 LC) Which of the following is not a true statement about a poorly-running engine? It gets its best gas mileage. It may lose power that is needed for normal driving and emergencies. It pollutes the air. The engine could stall while driving and cause a traffic problem.

## Step 1<br />The problem presents four statements about a poorly-running engine and asks us to identify the one that is not true. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />Let's analyze each statement:<br />- "It gets its best gas mileage." This statement is not true because a poorly-running engine is not efficient, which means it does not get the best gas mileage.<br />- "It may lose power that is needed for normal driving and emergencies." This statement is true because a poorly-running engine may not function optimally, leading to a loss of power.<br />- "It pollutes the air." This statement is true because a poorly-running engine may not burn fuel efficiently, leading to increased emissions and pollution.<br />- "The engine could stall while driving and cause a traffic problem." This statement is true because a poorly-running engine may stall, leading to traffic problems.
