3-Don't race to stop lights and
 then jam on brakes.
 -Don't drive on soft tires.
 b-Don't let engine idle when
 not in use.
 6-Don't use dirty spark plugs.
 7-Dont fail to have periodic
 tune-up.
 s-Don't choke motor excessive
 ly.
 Any one of these cautions can help to increase mileage, according to these experts, who asserted that dirty spark plugs can cause the waste of one in every ten gallons of gas used by q car. High speeds mean high gasoline consumption. If you drive at 70 miles per hour instead of 60 you will get 90 per cent more miles per gallon. Two other things to remember are to do not accelerate needlessly and that c dirty air cleaner increases fuel con. sumption.

 Eight simple faults of the average motorists graphically shown above were listed by Cononial Esso en. glnners as basic causes of poor mileage. If the motorist Is to get more mileage out of his gasoline, these experts offer the following counsels:
