Voluntary Petrol Conservation Campaign Across Australia
General Motors-Holden's Ltd launches a Commonwealth wide Voluntary Petrol Conservation Campaign prompted by wartime needs. One day tune-up schools start in capital cities to train mechanics in petrol economy, with garages passing on tips to car owners. Dealers will perform tune-ups at cost, and mileage charts guide post-service efficiency improvements.
