CAR OX CE .: ME.XT DECLARED LESS The General Tire company of Springfield, 111., engaged some time ago in the "Hire A Car and Drive It Yourself" business,- and established a most thorough cost finding system. Certain - cars were confined to - trips on con crete roads, and others to earth road trips.' After 12,000 miles or running it. was found that the average expense for. cars sent over concrete roads had been $288 less than for machines run over dirt, taking into account gasoline, oil, tires, repairs, depre ciation, interest on investment, cleaning and garage space. Oper ating costs were as follows: , Ford touring Cost per mile on earth roads, $0,093, cost per mile on concrete roads, $0,069; Ford coupe,, earth roads, .9 4, concrete roads, .0 JO; Ford sedan, earth roads, ,05. concrete roads, .072; Dodge touring, earth roads, .115, concrete ' roads, .091. These figures show a saving of 2.4 cents a car for all classes 'of machines "on -each mile traveled. This is approximatftijt- 85 per cent, and in the case of low pric ed cars would soon pay for a new one. -: . .-- - The new!
