WASHINGTON, April 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau: MONDAY, APRIL 14: CAR CARE MONTH Profile America -- Monday, April 14th. While keeping a car washed and waxed makes its owner feel good, this is National Car Care Month, with the goal of making drivers more aware of keeping their cars in good running order for both safety and better fuel mileage. Across the country, many car dealers and other groups have set up free inspections to monitor your car's condition. Almost nine-out-of-10 vehicles tested in recent years had some problem, ranging from low fluid levels and worn out windshield wipers to low tire pressure. There are 438,000 automobile repair and maintenance shops around the country and we spend $75 billion a year to keep our cars and trucks in good shape. You can find these and more facts about American business from the U.S. Census Bureau, now conducting the 2007 Economic Census. Profile America is produced by the Public Information Office of the U.S. Census Bureau. These daily features are available as produced segments ready to air on a monthly CD or on the Internet at http://www.census.gov (look under the "Newsroom" button).
