THE MOTORIST buys gasoline at frequent intervals and pays cash for it, because the unit of purchase is small. For this reason the price of gasoline is ever present in his mind. But, in fairness, the price of gasoline should be considered in relation to other fixed charges incident to the operation of his automobile. Petroleum Age, in its issue of February 1, 1924, states that “reliable figures obtained in the study of the operation cost of automobiles in oil field service between July, 1922, and July, 1923, shows that the average cost per mile for cars ranging in price from $400.00 to $1,400.00 each was 10c. During that period approximately 22c per gallon was paid for gasoline. ” Computing the average mileage at 15 miles per gallon it is shown that out of a mileage cost of 10c gasoline represented less than other words the lHc wags the BHc, and [the lHc covers the hazard of drilling and bringing the crude oil above ground—its transportation to the refinery —storage —refining—maintenance of the refineries —transporting of gasoline —bulk storage depots—delivery system, including tank wagons and service stations—-cost of labor—and a fair and reasonable profit If the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and others engaged in the petroleum industry had not expended millions in experiment and research, which has resulted in taking from crude petroleum scores of other products, the present low price of gasoline could not be maintained. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), because of its advanced work in refining petroleum, has been able to recover these other products without in any way affecting the quality of the gasoline. In this way the operations of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) accrue to the advantage of the consumer in keeping the price of gasoline down to a point where the man of modest means can enjoy the pleasures of motoring without bearing a burdensome charge for fuel to propel his car. Gasoline, in relation to the service it renders, is one of the cheapest commodities yet discovered. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) \ 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago, HL
