EFFICIENT SPEED
The useful work the engine does
when driving on a level road is to overcome mechanical friction and wind resistance. Both these factors increase very rapidly as speed is in creased, which indicates that the slower the speed the lev; gasoline will be used per milo travelled. However, at slow speeds the efficiency of the engine is not as good as at higher speeds. Driving with the hand throttle on long, open stretches is conducive to good mileage, as is allows' the engine to operate more uniformly than when the foot responding to every slight jar, constantly moves the throttla. •
