THE ACFT EXPERIENCED AN INTERMITTENT POWER LOSS IN CRUISE FLT. THE PLT'S ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL AND HE ELECTED TO EXECUTE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING ON A ROAD. DURING THE LANDING, THE ACFT STRUCK A WIRE AND VEERED INTO TREES ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE PLT STATED THAT HE HAD NOT APPLIED CARB HEAT DURING THE EMERGENCY BECAUSE HE CONSIDERED CARB ICE IMPROBABLE. THE ICING PROBABILITY CHART INDICATED THE POSSIBILITY OF CARB ICING AT GLIDE AND CRUISE PWR SETTINGS. ACFT WAS FUEL WITH A MIXTURE OF AUTO GAS AND AVIATION FUEL.
