fearing for your car-driving future, rapidly increasing, fuel -
« efficiency is coming to the rescue.

“Ford of Canada intends to stay in the forefront of the fuel-

economy race and we are investing the resources required to

remain there,” said Roy Bennett, president of Ford Canada.

As a comparison, Bennett noted that in 1975, you would

have used 363 gallons to drive a 1975 Thunderbird across the |
4,275-mile Trans Canada Highway. At 80 cents a gallon, that.
would have cost you $290. ,

To drive the same distance today in a 1980 Thunderbird,

you would need only 19) gallons of gas. At $1.15 a gallon, the.
total cost would be down to $219

'

“For the consumer, the savings in dollars would be $71 —

despite a 44-per-centi increase in the price of gas over that five~’
year period,” he said. “And the savings in fu¢l consumption
would be 173 gallons.”

If you consider the time factor I discussed above, you can

_see your savings would be even greater.

_ Bennett also held out hope for the future. He said fuel

economy technology will continue to outstrip the growth of
fuel consumption, By 1985, Canada’s car population is ex-.
pected to increase by more than 20 per cent; because of more
women buying cars and more two-car and three-car families.

Yet fuel consumption in that year is projected to drop by at
least 15 per cent.

He said the car is the only major energy-using sector for

which an absolute reduction in energy consumption is ex-
pected during the 1975-85 period.

Well, Mr. Bennett, you couldn't have given us car drivers a
