IN ANSWER TO A LADY'S LETTER
A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cylinder
car does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. She
refers td^m^ statement that our Ford V-8 develops more power on a galloii
of gas than any car we have made.
The use of 8-cylinders does not mean the addition of two or four .
extra fuel consumers.. It is not, for example, a 4-cylinder engine
multiplied by two. Our 8-cylinder engine takes the fuel supply of an
ordinary 4—cylinder engine and divides it eight ways. And why?
By reducing four larger explosions into eight smaller ones, we get
engine smoothness and quietness. Eight—cylinders indicate the way the
is used, not the amount. It is just the difference between going
or in eight ordinary steps.

The only extra|ragance about the new Ford V—8 engine is in the building
)f it. The extravagance is ours—the economy is yours. '
The"whole question of car economy needs clearing up. An economical
car gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play their
part. If what you save on gas you lose elsewhere, that is not economy.

As to price with quality,—judge for yourself. „
As to economy, here is the record of a stock car three weeks out/of
sjiop in Oklahoma:
On a run of 10,054 miles at thei rate of 1,000 miles 2L^y—the Ford
V-8 gave 18.8 miles pergallon of gas. Not a drop of water was added
tp the radiator. The ^1 was 'changed once in 1,000 miles.
That should answer a lot of questions.
