A car's leaky gas cap can cost the driver and the environment a high price — up to a full tank of gas every year and environmentally unfriendly vapors in our ozone. One way that locals can keep Toledo’s air clean (and their mileage efficiency up) is by replacing those gas caps. The Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) has partnered with the city’s Division of Environmental Services to provide Toledoans with free gas cap testing and replacement for their passenger vehicles. “It's one way to try to explain to people that you can make personal choices that affect the atmosphere,” says Mary Pat McCarthy, head of media relations for TMACOG. The process takes only a few minutes. For a complete list of times and locations, visit www.tmacog.org. Free. 419-241-9155. —AW
