A transportation piece examines why buyers favor small cars, arguing small models save money over time through cheaper tires and fuel. It cites Willys-Overland on long term value, compares 60,000 mile costs, and notes small cars use 2600 gallons versus 3400 for big cars, saving about 198 dollars at 22 cents per gallon. It also mentions faster depreciation for larger cars and the popularity of the Model 75.
