lips There are three main factors that determine a car's fuel consumption: Weight, Braking, and Acceleration. Not all cars drive the same and not all like models give like mileage, but with a little care and a bit of consideration any car can be made to run on less gasoline. 1 Keep the weight carried to a I minimum. Any extra pounds cause the engine to over-work just to sustain motion. Leave heavy tools or materials at home whenever possible. 2 Pick up speed slowly. It can .take ten times as much horse- power to peel out after stopping, than the 10-15 hp slow acceleration takes. Watch the speed. As a car .speeds up, wind resistance builds. A car moving 60 mph uses 23 more horsepower than a car moving 30 mph. Use the brake when neces- lsary, but not otherwise. Braking stops the flow of already stored energy. Pace driving habits with that of the other traffic. 5 Maintain all parts of the car 'in top running order. This may seem like an added expense, but in the long run, a well tended car costs far less than a car that is never adjusted. Some things to check are: carburetor- ignition timing, lubricants and anti- wear additives, idle speed, automatic choke release, spark plug timing and tire pressure twhich can not only ruin the tires, but can cost as much as one mile per gallon in gas mileage; Don't over-use accessories. lAn air conditioner takes a big bite out of the efficiency of a car. Lights, fans, blowers and rear window heating wires all take away from gaso- line efficiency.
