"You're too modest!" Motorists who got the first G-3's put out months before the public announcement say, "You're too modest!" Many of them report 50 to 100 more non-skid mileage. Why, then, do we insist on only 43? Well, 43 is a definite test-car-proved figure. Yery likely it is low for normal use because the tests which established the 43 average were gruelling: cars speeding up to 50, jamming on brakes, mile after mile, day and night. Yery likely most motorists will get more than 43 more non-skid mileage. But we'll String along with 43 because It's plenty to deliver at no extra cost.
