TINE WAY you drive has lot to do with
l. the mileage you get. One important
thing to remember is this: use light, steady
touch on the accelerator-a almost as if there
were an egg between your foot and the
pedal. That doesn't mean you have to poke
along. 1t simply means you avoid stomping
needlessly on the accelerator in such way
that you force-feed the engine, wasting gaso-
line.
Don-trace your engine when you're stand
ing still. 1t wastes fuel.
Don't indulge in jackrabbt starts. They
hold automatic transmissions in lower gear
longer, make engines run faster and
squander fuel.
Don't drive at excessive speeds. The faster
you go, the more fuel you burn up. AT 70
miles per hour, for instance, gasoline con-
sumption will be as much as 10 percent
higher than at go.
So much for some things you shouldn't
do. Now, for some things you should do.
l. Drive "ahead Of your car" Watch for
slowing traffic and red lights as far ahead as
you can see. You'll be able to pace yourself
with the other cars, avoid excessive slowing
down and speeding up, and keep smooth,
even pressure on the accelerator. Mileage
will improve.

z. Get these fuel-saving engine adjust
ments. IF the spark timing is off, for exam
pie, you may be paying for it in wasted gas
oline. Have it set properly. Have the COM
preston checked for power-wasting valve
and ring conditions. Here are some other
essential ad justments:
A. Keep your spark plugs at peak efficiency.
Dirty or incorrectly adjusted spark plugs
can steal up to a full mile from every gal
lon of gasoline your car burns. Use Super
Shell gasoline with famous Top addi-
tive to give spark plugs longer life.
B. Adjust carburetor for correct air-fuelm mix
ture and proper idle speed.
c. Have automatic choke checked for cor
rect operation.
D. Make sure your air filter is clean and re-
place it if necessary.
E. Have your fuel lines checked periodi-
cally to make sure they're not leaking
3. Check tire pressure-regularly. Keep
tires properly inflated. underinaated tires
increase friction, cut mileage.
NOTE; Tire pressures build up during
long run. Don't let air out to bring the
pressure down or you may find them under
inflated when they cool off, Make it prac-

tice to check tires only when they are cool.
q. Check for dragging brakes. Have your
Shell dealer check for brake drag the next
time you're in for fabrication. IF brakes drag,
you pay for it not only with extra brake
wear, but with extra gasoline.
S. Show this advertisement to everyone
who drives your car. Especially if you pay

It's true that engines built for regular
gasoline will run fine on regular for thou
sands Of miles. But after while, deposits
can bake on combustion chamber walls.
Result: octane requirements go up. The
engine may knock. You hear telltale
"Pinging." IF this happens, the engine
can't deliver top performance without the
extra octane of premium grade fuel.
That's the real lowdown You can count

Roads Priority
Plan Is Urged
For Counties

A leading Montgomery
County planner today blamed
what he called the slow pace
of State road construction in
Montgo merry and Prince
Georges Counties on the failure
of county officials and citizens
to give strong support before
the General Assembly to "a
realistic, practical program OF
road priority"
Chairman j. Newton Brewer
jr., expressed these views at a
Montgomery County Planning
Board, meeting on plans for a
conference at 8 pm. Friday
in Rockville on the highway
program.
Attending the Friday seS-
sion will be members of the
planning board, the county
council and the Montgomery
legislative delegation.
Delegate John P. Moore,
meeting with planning board
members, remarked, I'VE must
make our determination to es-
tabliSh prioritieS - we must
do our homework before pre-
Senting it to the legislature"
John S. HeWinS, acting plan
ming director of the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, warned
that it would be "a fatal mis-
take to take SO road projects
totaling $50 million and offer
them as imperatives we
need to look at strong, mini
mum and not throw SO at
them"
Planning Board Member
Donald E. Gingery commented
that the General Assembly is
waiting for us to get in a fight
over priorities. ="
The planning board voted
unanimously in favor of support
for 10 road projects for the
next four years and another II
within the next eight years.
Near the top of the list were
Georgia avenue from Norbeck
to Glenmont Old Georgetown
road from Wisconsin avenue
to Glenmont; Old Georgetown
West highway from Wisconsin
