will be the slogan of the average
motorist, said W. R. Speck yes
terday, "and Just about one In
every tenwll have even a remote
idea of h'Jw to figure what mile

"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. In weather
such as we are likely to have
from now on should wot require
choking at all unless it might be

"About half our. fleet of Olds

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

miles and is still In good shape.
This is equal to twice that many
miles of average driving."
