As a Duchesne furmer are yon organized and have you been heard? Detroit, September 20-Milllons of dollars could be saved annually by the aujtomohile-owy.ilng public through a more strict, observance of the factors that that control the gasoline mileage offered by the average automobile, It was revealed In a survey on fuel economy econ-omy completed today by the Chevrolet Motor company. A gain of from two to five miles on the gallon of gas could be effected on the average, it was shown, If the motorist mo-torist paid strict attention to the elements ele-ments that govern fuel consumption. Manufacturers have, Teen doing their utmost to make gains In the direction of greater mileage, and now It is felt that with greater cooperation from the driv er, motorists may ride millions of miles yearly at no extra fuiel cost If the matter mat-ter of watchfulness can make a sufficiently suffi-ciently strong appeal. Just how this attention to fuel econ-omy econ-omy brings its reward is illustrated in records of performances coming in to the company's offices, which show-that show-that although the Chevrolet six is exacted ex-acted to run approximately 20 miles to the gallon, motorists in various sections sec-tions of the country are getting 23, 24, and 23 miles through Just a little added ad-ded attention to the matter. The majority of items to be watched are rather obvious to the average automobile auto-mobile owner, but through an adequate appreciation of their importance, are commonly overlooked.

When standing or waiting for the light to change, don't race your motor. 2. When you are to make a stop of more than a minute, turn off your motor. 3. Don't drive at excessive speeds unless the occasion demands. High speed traveling burns more gas. 4. Remember that the faster you drive the more gas you consume. So when you find that you are about out of gas and are heading for a gas station, sta-tion, take it slowly and your chances for negotiating the distance will' be greater. 5. When starting watch the choke. Don't drive with the choke out a moment mom-ent more than necessary. 0. Be sure that your brakes are not dragging. This cuts down your mileage. mile-age.
