More Miles Per Gallon Next
Major Change
Br Howard W. Blakeslee
Associated Press Science Editor.
Detroit, Sept 11 WV-The
next major change in automo
bile driving, the American
Chemical society was informed
today. Is likely to be doubling
the miles per gallon of gaso
line. Laboratory tests already show
both that it can be done, and
that while the gasoline for dou
bled mileage will cost more,
the driver still may cut his fuel
bill by perhaps 20 per cent.
The reports were made by
T. A. Boyd of the research lab
oratories of the General Motors
corporation. Up to now, he
said, the buyers of cars have
preferred more power, more ac
celeration and more hill-climbing
capacity rather than Jus
more miles per gallon. They
can't have both, he explained.

Facing Drivers
added, "that from now on ear
drivers may prefer to take the
benefits of further improvements
in fuel and of advances in en
gineering in terms of more miles
per gallon."
American drivers today ride
on what is known as 70 octane
gasoline, on the average. Boyd
said that 100 octane experiment
how 53 per cent more miles
per gallon at 20 miles an hour,
and more than 40 per cent gain
at higher speeds.
But above 100 octane a car
gives 50 per cent more miles at
60 miles an. hour and 70 per
cent more at 20 miles an hour.
One hundred octane Is already
on the market for aviation.
When it comes in for cars.
Boyd estimated it would cost 10
cents per gallon to manufacture,
or twice as much as present
standard gasoline, but that with
the greater mileage the driver
still would save money-
