5O-Cent Gasoline
Prophecy Hailed
AS Pure Nonsense
Conference of Oil and
Automobile People Finds
the Situation Not at ALI
Alarming; Gas Aplenty

AT recent meeting attended by
representatives of the Society of Auto
motive Engineers, the American Petro-
leum Institute and the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce the fol-
lowing points were brought out;
L. Ihe present shortage and neces-
slty for increasing the price of gaso-
line are the result of too little drilling
last year and are, therefore, only tenn
porary. There may be temporary short
ages on the Pacific Coast and here and
there throughout the country.
2. The figures show that of the crude
OH refined last year the gasoline from
each gallon was % per cent. In the
Eastern section it was % per cent; on
the west coast only IL per cent, where
as in the Midwest, where production
is biggest, 35 per cent of gasoline was
taken from each gallon of crude oil.
With the East and West coast COM
panies using the cracking processes,
SO generally used in the Midwest sec
ton, great increase in the quantity
Of gasoline is assured
3. 1t is not believed that gasoline
will go above 35 or 36 cents at retail.
The SO cent talk is nonsense.
4. Gasoline consumption during the
last twelve months was less than pro-
duction.
S. One prominent oil man stated that,
as the present situation is the result
Of an emergency, the bid price on oil
will remain high, but with the present
bid price of $3.50 per barrel for crude
oil in the Midwest field more active
drilling, with the resultant increased
production, will follow.
6. The same oil man stated that with
this increased production will come a
lower price for gasoline. He believes
that next year, 1921, gasoline should
again sell at less than 80 cents per
gallon.
7. The oil men advise the use of
gasifiers; more careful designing of
motors for greater economy in fuel
consumption; that truck users should
be warned against running motors
when trucks are not moving, and that
carburetor adjustment for economy
should be a general practice with all
cars.
8. The automobile manufacturers
suggested the need for better grade
of gasoline, as the present fails of
clean combustion and reaches the crank
case, diluting the lubricating oil, with
resultant damage to bearings; that the
oil people should inform us at least a
year or two in advance of the quality Of
gasoline that will be offered.
