ROADS
FUEL SAVED By GOOD ROADS
Wear and Tear on Trucks and Amount
Of Gasoline Consumed Shown in
Recent Ohio Test.

A test conducted In Ohio recently
to determine the saving In gasoline
from running over good road as COM
pared with gas consumption over bad
and medium-grade roads, disclosed
surprising difference. Five new army
standard "a" trucks with seven
different types Of road service. showed
gain of six miles per gallon of fuel
between the hest and worst types OF
roads. All the trucks were empty dur
ing the test.
The trucks loaded showed that the
poor road took seven times as much
gasoline per mile as the good one.
The test results showed an average
Of 5.7S miles per gallon over dirt
road in good condition, 7.19 over tair
gravel. 9.39 over good gravel, about
the same over fair bituminOus macad-
am and good brick roads. ll.44 over
extra smooth brick and Ills over goon
concrete
The saving to the motoring public
In gasoline alone would amount &c
millions Of dollars annually. Perhaps
