CLAIMS BAD PUMPS
CHEAT GAS BUYERS

I'm a New York official investigs-
ton it was shown that the motorists
were losing about per cent Of their
purchases through incorrest gasoline
measuring pumps" said Stewart Nc
Donald, president of the Moon Motor
Car Company of st. Louis.
"As the consumption there is about
50. 900 600 gallons a year the loss is
about 1 900 900 gallons a year, or
s25O,OO0. Ny conclusion, therefore, is
that IL your automobile is not show
ing gasoline economy. don't always
blame it's motor; perhaps you are not
getting full measure at the gasoline
station, either through the Ignorance
or design of the vendor.
at will be well to see that the
pump operator makes a full stroke OF
the pump piston, also that he drains
the delivery hose into your car, also
to watch the gauge yourself.
The fact is, the only correct way
to test a mileage of motor is to at
tach gallon can, tied under the
hood, connecting this to the csrbure-
tor with a small rubber hose. II that
shows you that your car Is making
sixteen to eighteen miles on that gal
lon and IL you are using reasonably
economical light six engine, and do
not get this mileage on actual road
driving, then there is something
wrong with the measuring OF gsso-
line into the tank OF your car. A test
like this is worth trying"
