who handles his car in a moderate
manner, getting under motion in
first and second gear, then shift
ing into high, will operate his car
much more economically than will
the flashy type of driver. OF
course, the fewer the stops and
starts, the greater the economy.
Effect of Speed
Driving speed, whether constant
or variable, is another factor gov
erning gasoline economy and over
which the car driver alone has
control. Recently tests were con
Quoted to determine the influence
of speed on an average fuel mile
age Of sixteen cars. The average
for all cars which were tested, in
Guiding various types of many
wellknown makes, was 22.16 miles
per gallon at a car speed Of Is
miles per hour. At a car speed of
25 miles per hour, this average
mileage per gallon of gasoline de-
creased to 20.36. When the a
speed was raised to 35 miles per
hour, the gasoline mileage was
still lower, 1924 miles per gallon;
and at a speed of As miles per
hour the gasoline mileage was 15.-
81. These were the averages for
sixteen cars tested, although some
cars did considerably better than
the average, while others fell be-
low the average. These are flow
meter gas usage records taken on
a level road and are, therefore,
somewhat higher than may be ex-
pected under average driving con
ditions.
The many factors that govern
mileage are very complex. Car
condition, wind velocity, carbure-
tor adjustment, grade Of fuel, tenn
p~erature, humidity, altitude, type
of road, and topography are all
factors which have an important
bearing on fuel efficiency.
The average a owner has little
conception of the tremendous
physical forces that he brings into
when he steps on the throt-
tie of his car. And that average
car driver has a still more mad
equate conception of the manner
in which those forces govern the
miles per gallon" he derives from
his car.
Wind Element
The element Of wind resistance,
serves as a sterling ex-
Of this lack of knowledge
IN the part Of the average owner
If what governs fuel mileage.
AS car speeds increase, the
horsepower required to pull any
ar against wind resistance be-
directly proportional to the
ront area of that car. Wind re-
istances, which materially cut
mileage, play a more i'm
part in the speed range
bove 80 miles an hour than below
hat speed.
The factor of wind resistance is
ependent upon the frontal area
{ an automobile. To illustrate
point, two cars were placed
n tesla light car weighing 2,757
ounds with a frontal area of 24.9
quare feet, and a heavy car hav-
a weight of 1910 pounds and
rontal area of 29.6 square feet.
he heavier car weighed $50
lore than the light car though its
'ontal area was only 1870 greater
that of the light car.
At 20 miles per hour the light
ar gave 24.6 miles to the gallon
nd the heavy car 1874 miles, or
a advantage Of $3.50 for the light
ar. At 30 miles per hour the light
gave 20.4 miles to the gallon,
