Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

FIVE Leyland PD.2 double-deckers of Southport Transport Department, which have covered 371,000-450,000 miles without having their engines removed, are to be kept running until engine failure is imminent.

Cfir. J. Todd, chairman of the transport committee, explained last week that this was so that the full economic life of the engines could be found out.

In September the five buses returned 10.42 m.p,g.—a rate only slightly below the average for all the vehicles of this type in the fleet.
