A LITTLE NOVOKO MEANS A LOT MORE MILES.

These days motor-miles cost money. Petrol is up in price and how far it will yet rise no one knows. Motorists will therefore be interested to learn how to make 25 miles to the gallon where at present they can only do 20. This may perhaps sound too good to be true, but it is a present day actuality—thanks to Novoko. Throughout New Zealand Novoko is making big . savings for hundreds of motorists. It is a highly concentrated synthetic benzine to be added to motor fuel in the proportion of one ounce of Novoko to the gallon of fuel. This works out at a cost of 2Jd worth of Novoko. Among scores of exhaustive tests it is interesting to note the following, carried out by Mr. C. Savage, motor mechanic of Wanganui, with private oarsßuick, owned by Mr. J. Craig, Wanganui, increased from 20i to 314 miles with Novoko; Buick owned by Mr. J. H. McLean, Marton, increased from 24£ to 36.8 miles; Ford car, owned by himself, showed an improvement of 10 miles— 254 miles without Novoko, to 354 with it; Studebaker, owned by Mr. W. Glasgow, Turakina, increased from 16 to 22.6 miles ; and a Buick, belonging to Mr. G. Glen, of Makirikiri, increased its efficiency by Hi miles to the gallon, rising from 224 miles without Novoko, to 34 miles with it. For farm motors Novoko is a big fuel saver. It has been proved in a very thorough test by Mr. Mason Bayly, of Bett and Bayly's motor garage, _ Palmerston North, that a stationary engine, coupled to a 25 to 40 dynamo, ran 78 per cent, longer when Novoko was added to the spirit. So, all through New Zealand motorists and farmers are economising in petrol, benzine and other fuels— by cutting down miles or work, but by adding Novoko. This splendid econoraiscr is a pure liquid, containing no particles to choke tho feed pipe, and we specially point out that it is non-injurious to metals. A bottle containing coins, copperplate, wire, steel, and iron parts in a mixture of Novoko and motor spirit, reveals not the slightest trace of corrosion with the contents after nearly ono year. The company absolutely guarantees that .Novoko will not injuriously affect the enajne. Try it—all garages sell it as follows :— one pint tin, sufficient for 20 gallons 17s 6d half gallon, sufficient for 80 gallons; 32s 6d ono gallon, sufficient for 160 gallons. v
