For instance. the highest per capita consumption was in Geor- gia, tho $0,079 vehicles averaging 739 gallons during the year. while the lowest was in Minnesota, the 607,725 vehicles using an average of but 359 gallons, or slighthr less than half the per vehicle consumption in Georgia. “Many things contribute towards' the wide variation in the amount of r gasoline used per vehicle in the vari-l ous states," according in Si. Mayan] Viee-President of the Association and T President " The Automobile Ciubf of Illinois. “in the wide difference) between the, amount consumed by the 1 average inowrists in Minnesota midi Georgia the primary reason is climn- I tie mndtions. In Georgia automo-/ biles are used the year around. while-1 in Minnesota they are restricted."l Again. roads in Georgia are not as, good as those in the Nonhem statesl and hence the gasoline consumption is higher." declared Mr. Mayer. 1 Additional Patton _ Additional factors accounting for the variations, Viee-Presithmt Mayer points out. is that of population, gas- oline consumption being heavier in thickly populated areas such as cities and industrial centers. while tourist account for a high per capita con- sumption. As an example. in the District of Columbia-where there is a large annual tourist movement-- the average is 79 gallons above the general average. From an industrial standpoint New Jersey’s per capita consumption stands out, being " gallons above the Crmatry's average. Illinois per capita consumption was 550 gallons. "The ration of goal mark to gun- line consumption is not as mar'ced as one would suppose. f r the reason that, in states where roads are good the mileage is more per gallon. and in most instances the states that have good roads an wealthy and one of the unique angles of per capita 2350- line consumption is that in the weal- thy states. where many owners own two on, the per capita consumption is lowered by virtue of this fact," Viee-Presidmtt layer points oat. [ "This is pir’ticularly true of Cali- fornia. which has excellent. roads and an all yen motoring climate.
