Poster prepared by the National Automobile Chamber of 

 Commerce showing how to avoid wasting gasoline

ONE way to win this 

 war is to insure a 

 sufficient supply of fuel 

 by eliminating gasoline 

 waste. Look at the 

 accompanying illustra-^ 

 tion and you will see 

 that there is a daily 

 waste of one million, five 

 hundred thousand gal- 

 lons out of a total daily 

 production of nearly 

 seven million gallons. 

 This is needlessly large. 



For war needs of the 

 army, navy and avia- 

 tion branches, nine hun- 

 dred and fifty-nine thou- 

 sand gallons of gasoline 

 must be had each day, 

 which is less than two- 

 thirds of what may be 

 considered as wasted at 

 present. Were owners 

 of automobiles to stop 

 needless mileage, nearly 

 nine hundred thousand 

 gallons of gasoline could 

 be saved each day. 



The very highest 

 gradeofgasolineisneces- 

 sary for the thousands 

 of airplanes now 

 building, most of which 

 will use the new Liberty 

 motor, now being made 

 in great numbers in the 

 automobile factories. 

 Great quantities of 

 gasoline will also be re- 

 quired to operate the 

 thousands of army 

 motor trucks to be used 

 by our growing force in 

 France. 



Although the pro- 

 duction of crude oil in 

 this country has been 

 increasing at a tremen- 

 dous rate for a number 

 of years, during the past 

 twelve months it has 

 not kept pace with the 

 growing demand.
