W mean moderate motoring. which gives the greatest number of hours | of pleasant driving per dollar of cost. The majority of us who own cars. must_be careful of our dollars. and the latter kind of motoring is the | kind which gives us most pleasure | for_our money. Every motorist should keep a “log | book.” " This book should be left in the car. In it should be noted all| gas and oil purchases or fillings, all Erease-cup fillings and the speed- meter reading at each event.
