"So far as our gasoline (Gen eral) is concerned, we don't have many complaints on the score of mileage. . Almost any -good gaso line is capable of excellent mileage if it is given a chance. What kicks do come to us invariably are the result of Improper record-keeping or wasteful driving habits. "For instance, many drivers do not seem to realize that to begin with the carburetor should be ad justed caefully by one who knows how to do it properly. With the approach of warmer weather the adjustment shonld be checked up closely. "Again, hundreds of drivers use the choke quite unnecessarily. Good volatile gasoline.

"About half our. fleet of Olds mobiles has been in constant use for more than a year now, and a few of them longer, and we have had no reason to replace them. We have one car in our Buffalo branch which has gone 18.000 miles and is still In good shape. This is equal to twice that many miles of average driving."
