BUY RILEY - A BRITISH THOROUGHBRED GIVE THE BATTERY A CHANCE The shorter mileage forced on motorists by petrol rationing is not allowing sufficient running to keep the battery charged up to its hard work of starting the engine. Starting difficulties are increased also by the use of poor quality petrol and are particularly prevalent on cold and frosty mornings. Electricity is not rationed, however. Why not use it to put that little extra into the battery (at the negligible cost of less than 1d. per night) which will make the engine snap into action immediately.
