Good gasoline mileage obviously means a considerable saving of money. In an effort to improve mileage and at the same time keep intact an enviable safety record, the company is making surveys to eliminate waste. With 3700 motor vehicles in the Southland traveling 25 million miles a year, it's estimated that savings of $90,000 annually can be realized if gasoline mileage is increased by just one mile per gallon. George Turner, superintendent of buildings, supplies and motor vehicles for the company, said the surveys are being made on telephone company equipment, but are applicable to any car. He said a meter is used which measures the flow of gasoline in hundredths of a gallon, connected between the fuel pump and the carburetor. A small electric pump registers the rate of gasoline flow, thereby providing accurate results over relatively short distances. The metropolitan Los Angeles area was chosen for the tests to make sure some of the more severe traffic conditions would be experienced. Cent more gasoline than high gear; first gear 30 per cent to 50 per cent more. (All Pacific Telephone vehicles are equipped with standard gearshifts, but the same rules apply to cars equipped with automatic transmissions.) 3. Reduce speed. The following list shows the gasoline mileage at various speeds of a car capable of 20 mpg at 20 mph (constant speed): 20 mph ..... 20 mpg 30 mph ..... 19.7 mpg 40 mph ..... 18.3 mpg 50 mph ..... 15.9 mpg 60 mph ..... 12.2 mpg 79 mph ..... 8 mpg 4. Don't hop around in traffic. Every time you speed up to change lanes you over-use the accelerator pump, sending gasoline out the exhaust. This type of driving can use as much as 30 per cent more gasoline—and it's dangerous, too. 5. Pace yourself in traffic. Try to make signals, without speeding, to avoid unnecessary stops in traffic. Accelerating from 15 to 30 mph then slowing down rapidly to 15 and accelerating back to 30 in high gear averaged 6.5 mpg on a test run. 6. Warm up the engine. If necessary, use the choke but push it in as soon as possible. If it's an automatic choke be sure it's ad- SAC Dons First Home Appearance Set Tomorrow The Dons of Santa Ana college will make their first home appearance in the Municipal Bowl at 8 p.m. tomorrow against Palomar college of Vista, seeking to offset a practice game loss at Riverside last weekend, 13 to 0. Against Riverside, Santa Ana displayed a strong ground game and Coach John Ward has been drilling hard on pass defense and offense. Not too much is known of the Comets but new Coaches Bob Bowman and Ward Myers have excellent prospects in their record turnout of 40 players. They run from a single wing formation, headed by Tailback Don Portis, triple threat from Escondido who was all-Metropolitan League halfback. The line will average 196 pounds. Heading up Santa Ana's offense will be Quarterbacks Bob Switzer of Santa Ana, Gary Mark of Garden Grove and Harley Lobo of Capistrano. Anaheim's Aaron Peralta and Joel Gill of Mater Dei proved good ground gainers at Riverside, together with Jim Roberts, Anaheim fullback. Assistant Coach Eddie Eaton is developing some standout linemen, including Co-Captains Eddie Liptrap and Jack Moynihan, both from Anaheim, at guards; Gene Geselle, also from Anaheim, center; John Garcia at end and Larry He said a meter is used which measures the flow of gasoline in hundredths of a gallon, connected between the fuel pump and the carburetor. A small electric pump registers the rate of gasoline flow, thereby providing accurate results over relatively short distances. The metropolitan Los Angeles area was chosen for the tests to make sure some of the more severe traffic conditions would be experienced. Trucks and cars are picked at random. No special mechanisms are installed and no trick driving is used. Test drivers are able to average 14 to 15 miles per gallon (mpg) in town, proving that high mileage is obtainable by following the rules established by the survey. Turner suggested the following nine rules for driving with higher mileage as the objective—and greater safety as a bonus. 1. When leaving a signal don't try to win a race to the next one. On one test company drivers did just that and averaged 8 mpg. Repeating a test over the same route, but using less speed when leaving signals, the average was 15.3 mpg, and took only seven seconds longer to cover the same distance (about one mile). 2. Shift to high gear as soon as possible. At 20 mph, second gear uses 15 per cent to 20 per cent more gasoline—and it's dangerous, too. 3. Pace yourself in traffic. Try to make signals, without speeding, to avoid unnecessary stops in traffic. Accelerating from 15 to 30 mph then slowing down rapidly to 15 and accelerating back to 30 in high gear averaged 6.5 mpg on a test run. 4. Warm up the engine. If necessary, use the choke but push it in as soon as possible. If it's an automatic choke be sure it's adjusted, and don't pump the accelerator. (Incidentally, the telephone company is now ordering all new vehicles with automatic chokes.) 7. Avoid needless idling. This costs most people five to 10 per cent more gasoline than is necessary. 8. Take it easy on the clutch. On one test route there were two hills. During the first test run over this area the car was held uphill at the stops by slipping the clutch, and 10.3 mpg was averaged. In the second test over this route the car was held at the stops by the brakes and 13.7 mpg was averaged. Use the brakes on hills—it's safer and more economical. 9. Take it easy on the brakes. It takes gasoline to move your car so anticipate traffic changes and won't have to use your brakes so much. Simple checks for higher mileage include the distributor points, spark plugs, air cleaner, and proper tire inflation. "We have to watch our gasoline mileage carefully because our motor vehicles travel the equivalent of 12 round-trips to New York every day in the year," Turner stated. He pointed out that the surveys underline the fact an economical driver is a safe driver. "Once a person learns to drive this way, he'll find it easier on the nerves, too. He'll arrive at his destination relaxed, and probably within just a few minutes after the jack-rabbit type of driver," he said.
