None of these enrs required re placement or repair of any sort. None suffered accident. In every euse the expenses wero limited to those in quired for gasoline und oil. Several punctured tires wero rcpnired nt cur. rent rates. At tho end of the run each car wns sold for what it would hi ing, tho result definitely establish ing tho amount of depreciation inci dent to 1000 miles of use more, in all probability, thnn tho nvornge mo torist would giro u car iu threo months. These Maxwell enrs averaged 122.3 miles per gallon of gasoline nnd ran the 1000 miles on nn nvernge of three pints of oil. In dollars mid cents, tho cost of all this wide range of run ning figured exactly ir.OO.'il per milo slightly over half n cent.
