types of American roads and through
all extremes of American climate
and weather, are believed to have
eliminated rom their operating
statistics the variants which would
affect mileage costs compiled in any
one State or region.
For instance, the average cost in
the New York district where both
traffic delays and winter storage
expense are encountered was $.O540
per mile, the highest figure in any

was only SOTO per mile.
An interesting fatt shown by the

the Continental to purchase oil for

"Sinclair never got cent out OF
