Good Roads Save Much Gas In Highway Tests
A Columbus Dispatch note cites tests showing gasoline use drops dramatically on improved roads. A loaded truck used 10 miles on earth road consumed 173 gallons for 5.78 mpg, costing $4.53, while the same distance on a concrete road used 8.49 gallons for 11.78 mpg. Net gasoline savings exceed 100 percent, implying wide highway paving could markedly cut costs for farmers and merchants.

At 75 cents per hour per man and team, the yearly monetary loss equals $162,000, prompting discussion of road bonds at 6 percent interest.
