Abstract

The author carried out tests in Victoria with the country roads board roughometer car to determine the petrol consumption on various types of road surfaces. It was found that there was a decrease of 15 per cent in petrol on sealed roads over that used on gravel roads. This amounts to 0.16d. per mile for petrol. Other costs bring the saving up to 0.60d. per mile, which amounts to a considerable saving in a year's running.
