of gasoline used when running the car with
the accelerator or hand throttle?
Hoping to see this question answered in
your paper, I remain. j. H. Swanson
It is hardly possible to state how many
miles 20 horsepower car should make on
a gallon OF gasoline travelling between 20
and IS miles per hour The type Of the en-
CINE used, also the type of carburetor used,
together with its adjustment would deter
mine this to a large extent. There are a
number Of 20 horsepower cars, however,
which claim mileage Of from 20 to 80
miles to a gallon When a motor is idling
slowly, very little gasoline is consumed
Here again, the question Of adjustment is
a determining factor.
While the hand throttle and acceleratOr
are constructed differently nevertheless they
accomplish the same purpose that is the
opening Of the throttle proper. The fact
that the Land throttle creeps up on the
quadrant slightly when the accelerator is
used should not matter. Whether the hand
throttle is used or the accelerator is used
should not AFFECT the amount OF gasoline
consumed, providing both are controlled with
equal intelligence.
