electrical drain uses more gas
to recharge the battery.
Give serious thought to the
engine you order to go with
your car, big or small. Every car
has a "hot engine" which uses
more expensive premium gas
and an economical" engine
which uses low-cost fuel. Using
regular gas will in itself save
you an average OF 80 cents a
thankful.
Recognize that tires are a
factor too. The bigger your tire
width, the better will be its grip
on the road and you'll push
your car farther with the same
amount Of gas.
And of course, regular trips
to the service department to
check engine timing, distribu-
ton points, fuel filters and
spark plug cleanliness are es-
sential to gas economy.
Let's be frank, though;
you're not going to get the 21-22
miles a gallon the pros do" adj
mits Miss Jones. And size of
the car isn't the factor most
people think. The important
points are the engine in the car,

which aren't at all necessary
But remember" says Miss
Jones, "the more people, the
more baggage. the more gas
you'll consume"
When you buy a new car. OF
when you are about to set out
on a trip, ask your auto dealer
to tune your car to the traffic
you'll be encountering. where
you drive makes a lot Of differ
ence on how a car should be
tuned. For instance, your car
buretor has to be adjusted ac-
cording to the altitude in which
you drive. You may have to
have different kinds of air fl
tiers, depending on the humidity
or dryness of the air." Your
auto dealer should take care OF
this when you buy your car, but
most of them don't.
Your best mileage range is
between IS and SIS miles an
hour, but on steep grades go up
as fast as you can and downhill
as fast as is safe. Don't coast
down." Miss Jones advises.
Keep your foot on the acceler-
ator just enough to have your
engine driving your car"

Now is the height of the auto
driving season. If you're a typi-
cal driver, you're now sending
your annual spending for auto
gas and oil alone to over $3.50,
You're averaging about IA
miles per gallon, and If you're
like me, you're averaging a lot
less. You're paying anywhere
from 200 cents a gallon in Dali
las, Texas, to 81 cents a gallon
in Reno, Nevada, for regular
gas. You're paying as much as
44-45 cents for the souped-up
fuel.
But if you're professional like
30-year-old Patricia Jones, of
Wichita, Kansas, you're getting
close to % miles a gallon.
That's what Miss Jones
achieved when, driving Dodge
in the Mobilgas Economy Run
this past spring, she beat all
other drivers of eight-cylinder
cars in the 47-car competition.
This included men as we'll as

Carl Blackwell, chief of the

STA. He said there apparently
is no desire by the Russian

chase large classes of goods for

able.
Trade with Russia has been

Other Nations Cited

United States exports to Rus
STA are contrasted with around
$500 million each in United
States exports to the United
Kingdom, Japan, Venezuela
and Mexico in 1858. United
States exports to Cuba and
Brazil totaled around $3.50 mil
hon each. West Germany took
around $735 million worth of
United States goods, while
France, Italy and India took
sizeable amounts. Total United
States exports last year were
over Sic billion, and this was
not considered a particularly
good year, officials said.
Getting down in the smaller
exports. Mr.. Blackwell said the
United States exported SIS mil
lion to the Territory Of Trieste.
And the Federation of Malaga
took around So million worth.
This gives a comparison
with Russian trade.
Imports from Russia are
extremely small in the per-
spective of total imports" Mr..
Blackwell observed.
Trade Dropped After 81
The 1880 tariff rates apply
to all Soviet-bloc countries, ex-
cept Yugoslavia, the Tariff
Commissions general counsel,
Paul Kaplowitz said. He ex-
planned there are embargoeS on
certain furS being imported
from Russia also.
Ernest Rubin, chief, Eastern
European Section of the Com
merce Department, said that
IN 1881. when Russia was buy
ing heavy equipment and ma
chinery. we sent to that coun-
try $l18 million in exports. But
the lowest point was reached
in 1858, when only $4,000 in
exports went to Russia. This,
he said, was the lowest of all,
leaving out the war years, 60
ing back over 100 years in our
recorded history.
But Mr.. Rubin said that
even under the Cars, trade
between this country and Rus
STA was low. In the years 1870
10, our exports averaged about
$24 million annually, imports
$21 million.
