HAVE YOUR CAR INSPECTED AND BE PROTECTED POLICE CHECK-UP WILL FOLLOW MOTORISTS TAX THEMSELVES Mechanics and tecilnticians whose business it 1s• to now a great deal more about motor cars than the average deliver continue to find that it coots more in actual cash to cover 10 milers at 60 miles per hour than, it does at a lesser speed. They say •there is a speed tax which drivers. Inflict trpan themselves.; and what's more they prove it. It you have a car which. costs around the thousand ,dollar mark, and most people have; it wilt give you 20 miles out of a :gallon of gas. T1uat is, on an average when driv- ing around 25-30 miles an hour. It you step that same car up to 70 miles per hour—and in most cases it can be hone—then you are getting 11 miles out of your gallon of gas - 12 yon. have ahigh-powered car which does abont 12 miles. per gal- lon at a fair speed, wthen at 70 miles it Is giving you 8 miles per gallon. The consumption of oil is even more marked. To 2nd tittle out there were 600,000 calculations made with tlhirteen different stakes of cats andit was found that you can expert to use nearly seven, times as much- odi at 00 ,shires an hour as at 20. The findings include wear on tires and brake linings et high speed. For the most part they are given in technical terms, but in a general way they tell the same story. Here is ane point way to understand, If you stop quickly Prom 60 milers par hour the wear en brake tilling is four tees as rattail itis stepping from a 30 -Haile pace. These figuree and findings are not something worked out in this office. They have been arrived et by en- gineers who are exports and who seek to inform drivers on how to get moist vein for veifor their driving money. They make it abundantly clear that there is a 'speed tax which motorists can—and do—in- indict upon themselves.
