How to Get Biz Mileage gallon

Gasoline that does not vaporize
readily in cold weather accounts for
thelow mileage per gallon and for the
gasoline wasted keeping the motor
running while the car stands still.
So long as you use gasoline Of this
sort there is no escape from these
evils. You will have to use G rich,

trouble starting. Carbon will ac-
cumulate rapidly. Your motor will
