(Special)5 Tests conducted by a number of state* i highway commissions 'of the nation j t show that for fuel alone, Hie driver, . of a Ford cur who travels (1.000 mile, a year can save slightly better than. . JIS a year if aU driving is on payee i roads rather than gravel roads. To operate the same car 6,000 m'les on earth roads costs sl7 more in g.tso- . line at 20 cents per gallon, than on paved highways. So when an occasional protests is ; registered against paving Indian state roads, highway officials suggest I the car owner get busy for a few minutes with pencil and paper and . determine to his own satisfaction if . there is not a huge saving to be hid between the two types of roads. Indiana highway officials pave a road v. hen tr iflic on it readies u point of density that it is chapoar to pave than to longer maintain with gravel or stone. So far they havi not gone to the trouble of figuring up for the individual owner how much he benefits and the amount actually saved when he operates his macljine over pavement. Tests conducted over five and pix year periods in all parts of the country by highway commission, tire companies. fuel sations. and expert engineers. are authority forth- figures that, using the Ford <ar as the ba-is of calculation because more of this I make are on the roads, it is .31 of I a cent cheaper per ton mile with . gasoline selling at 20 cents a gallon [ to operate over a paved road than a I gravel road. Th’s is on fuel alone, | ! and does not estimate The saving on ! car depreciation and garage hill between the various surface types.
