Does keeping an old car running "benefit" the environment ?

I spent $1,500 on a new used engine and more on resurfacing the brake rotors, rebuilding a starter, repairing the speed sensor, fixing a leaky oil pan and power steering wheel. My car ain't even worth $800! Hopefully it will last me at least five years and help the environment somehow

Let's see:
-resurfacing the brake rotors: should extend brake pad life--plus
-repairing the speed sensor-- if this has something to do with fuel mixture--plus
-fixing a leaky oil pan-- using less oil in order to leave it behind on the asphalt- plus
- power steering wheel-- you'll effectively drive less with a steering wheel than you would zig-zagging all over the road-- plus
-rebuilding a starter-- cars are better for the environment when they don't start-- minus.

Congratulations! 4 out of 5, a solid "B."
