SAYS FEDERAL TILADE COMMISSION
Gasoline supplies are increasing.
The latest Bureau of .Mines report
shows that reserve stocks on hand at
the refineries in March totaled over
626,000,000 gallons, and serves to
offset some of the startling state
ments that have been made regarding
the gasoline supply.
“PSYCHOIXMIICAL,” SAYS FED-
ERAL TRADE COMMISSION
In fact, this gasoline scare has
been largely psychological, in the
opinion of the Federal Trade Com
mission. The failure in certain
north Texas fields upset some of the
old men and made an immediata
shortage seem possible.
1920 has begun fortunately, how
ever, and there are a good many fac
tors which point to Increased pro
duction.
“CRACKING” PROCESSES
INCREASE SUPPLY
WILL
Refiners can get twice the amount
of gasoline from oil by using new
“cracking" processes. The big mid
west companies using the modern
methods ar« getting a .35% yield
from crude; but refineries elsewhere
are getting only 12 to 22%. The cost
of installing the new processes will
make th« change slow, but If any ab
solute shortage should confront the
market oil men say this means can
be taken to meet ft. This would mean
an increase of 60 per cent in our
present supply.
ME.XItO AX OIL EMPIRE
Mexico is another source of future
supply which has been almost doubl-
ing its shipments to the American
market every year In 1919 the Mex-
ican market shipped 52,662,000 bar
rels of crude oil to the United States,
most of it to the Atlantic Coast.

“SAVE GAS” STILL HOLDS
Motorists should continue to save
gasoline, since the use of «even and
a half million cars in the country
means that the action of the separ
ate units may have a great influence
on the total consumption. Motor ve
hicles are the heaviest users of gaso
line, automobile consumption In 1919
being .1.167,654.400 gallons out of
'he total consumption of 3.808.390.-
619. It is estimated that a passenger
car uses 300 gallons of gasoline year
ly and a motor truck 1500 gallons.
Other users of gasoline are airplanes,
motor boats, railway motor cars,
farm tractors, stationary and norl
able engines, paint and varnish man-
ufacture, cleaning Industry, gasoline
