FUEL SAVED BY GOOD ROADS
Of Gasoline Consumed Shown in
Recent Ohio Test.

A test conducted in Ohio recently
to determine the saving In gasoline
from running over a good road as COM
pared with gas consumption over bad
and Interchangeable roads, disclosed a
surprising difference. Five new army
standard "A" trucks with seven
different types of road service, showed
a gain of six miles per gallon of fuel
between the best and worst types Of
roads. All the trucks We're empty dur
Ing the test.
The trucks loaded showed that the
gasoline per mile as the good one.
The test results showed an average
Of 5.IS miles per gallon Over a dirt
road in good condition, 10 over fair
gravel, 9.39 over good gravel, about
the same over fair bituminous macad-
am and good brick roads. 11.44 over
extra smooth brick and Ills over good
concrete.
The saving to the motoring public
In gasoline alone would amount to
millions of dollars annually. Perhaps
equal to this would be the saving in
tires, which is considered as important
an item of car upkeep as is gasoline.
Calculating the saving in wear and
tear on the mechanism of ears AMI
trucks and also the item of time lost
by poor roads, adequate highways are
undoubtedly a sane investment.
