SLOWER SPEED SAVES
MONEY FOR MOTORIST

High speed with motor cars is much
more expensive in almost every way,
according to Investigations made by
the Chicago Motor Club, than a slow
er and more safe speed. An associ-
ated press dispatch says that the in
vestigators are convinced that a mile
a-minute clip is from three to four
times more expensive than when your
Speedometer says 40 to As. After
checks made at various speeds, it is
concluded that oil consumption at s.
miles per hour is seven times greater
than it is at 30; tire wear at so is
twice as much as at 40; gasoline con-
sumption at 55 is one-fourth more
than at 80. No estimate is made on
the wear and tear on the car at the
higher speed nor are hospital bills
reckOned in the statistics.
