The petrol consumption of the aeroplane Southern Cross to date has averaged 28 Imperial gallons an hour. This reveals that the machine has averaged over 31 miles per gallon. The figure is rather astounding to the motorist but it must he remembered that the three engines of the aeroplane have a maximum output of 200 h.p. each. They were not, of course, run at full throttle. There are large buses and lorries runnng, covering no more than 31 miles per gallon. Viewed with this comparison, air travel appears very efficient.
