HELP REDUCE GASOLINE CONSUMPTION The U. S. Chamber of Commerce, sponsor ing a campaign to cut down on the use of gaso line, offers these suggestions to reduce gasoline consumption: Do more buying and selling by phone in stead of in person. Make more extensive use of the mail. Use courier service to make small deliv eries. Take advantage of car pools whenever possible. Ride the bus if service is available. All drivers can add to their gas mileage with a few simple tricks: Observe the 55 miles per hour speed limit. Keep the car engine properly tuned. Bad points, plugs, or timing can waste an enormous amount of gaso line. Feather-foot it on the accelerator pedal. Quick acceleration and stop-and-go driving waste gas. Smooth is best. Inflate tires properly. Soft tires waste gas. Don't idle your engine for long periods. Not even when cold. It's actually better for the engine to let it warm up under a moderate load. Make notes. Keep a log of all the places you drive and all the reasons you drive there. Then, after a week, study the log and see where you can cut down on waste driving. Always ask the question--is this trip necessary? It all adds up. When it all adds up to 25%, you'll have done your share.
