A LITTLE NOVO-KO MEANS A LOT MORE MILES!

These days motor-miks cost money. Petrol is up in price and how far it will yet rise no one kuows. Motorists will therefore be interested to learu how to ir-ake 25 miles to tho gallon whero at present they can ou!y do 20. Th : s 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 bo added to motor fuel in tho proportion of ono ounco 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 nots* tho following, carried out by Mr C. Savage, motor mechanic of "Wanganui, with private cars:—Buick, owned by Mr J. Craig, Wanganui, increased from 20V to 3li miles with Novoko; Buick owned by Mi- J. 11. McLean, Marton, increased from 2-1 Ato 36.8 miles; Ford car owned by himself showed an improvement of 10 miles—from 25 V miles without Novoko, to 35.1 miles with it; Studcbaker owned by Mr W. Glasgow, Turakina, increased from 16 to 22.6 miles; and a Buick belonging to Mr G. Glen, of Makirikiri, in?reased its erficicticy by 11} miles to the gallon, rising from 221 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—uot by cutting down miles or work, but by adding Novoko. This splendid oconomiser is a pure liquid containing no particles to choke the feed pipe, and we specially point out that it is non-injurious to metals. A bottlo containing coins, copper-plac, wire, stoel and iron part? in a mixture of Novoko and motor spirit, reveals not the slightest trace of corrosion with the contents after nearly cne year. The Company absolutely guarantees that Novoko will not injuriously effect the engine. Try it—all garages sell it as fol'ows:—ss one pint tin, sufficient for 20 gallons; 17s <?d half gallon, sufficient for SO gallons; 32s fid one gallorr, sufficient for 16) gallons. For frrto booklet- containeing full d'tails write NZ- Fuel K onomisera Ltd., Bos 50, G.P.0., "Wanganui.
