Stating that economy and performance are diametrically opposed in that the greater the performance demanded the less the economy is likely to be, the author mentions that the gasoline bill of the average user is not the major portion of his expense and asserts that economy is determined very largely by the engine design, the chassis design and the tires. The subject of engine design is outlined and consideration is given to acceleration during periods of coasting.Discussing briefly the chassis and the tires, attention is given to oil and tire economy, followed by statements regarding design from the viewpoint of service and performance as influenced by gear-ratios and gearshifting.Stating that economy and performance are diametrically opposed in that the greater the performance demanded the less the economy is likely to be, the author mentions that the gasoline bill of the average user is not the major portion of his expense and asserts that economy is determined very largely by the engine design, the chassis design and the tires.
