High Speed Driving
Your Cadillac automobile will travel at almost any speed
you may wish to drive. Experienced drivers realize, however,
the element of danger in speed and attempt maximum
speeds only when conditions are extremely favorable.
Considerable attention is being given to the effect of high
speeds on the car, particularly in regard to fuel consumption,
oil consumption, tire wear, and brake effectiveness. In
order that Cadillac owners may have the facts on these
important items, we are reproducing on these pages four
charts which make these items clear. A brief review of these
facts will indicate why many wise motorists are touring at
more moderate speeds—from 45 to 55 M. P. H.
