Oilmen Not Sad About Small Cars
Oilmen anticipate gasoline sales staying strong despite compact cars. Shell Oil Co notes total car numbers rise from 58.1 million in 1950 to 66.6 million, with trucks and buses growing, so gasoline use may fall only slightly per vehicle. If 1964 mileage remains, a shift to smaller cars could cut annual per-car use but higher total vehicle miles may offset losses.
