Twenty and One-Tenth Miles Made on One Gallon of "Cat"
Twenty and one-tenth mile on one gallon of gasoline by a six-cylnder liuick car! That's
the mark that the Huick Motor Company may advertise to the world as an official performance.
Not only did the Haick "Six" set this remarkable economy mark on January H, but the
Model B-25, under similar running condition, made 22 7 mites per gallon, while a third ma
chine, a Model 1$ 37, with no gravity feed tank for the measured gallon of gmoliue, made 17.1)7
miles. The later two models are (ours.
With F. K. Edwards, former American Automobile Aisociution technical t Xpert and one of
the most conscientious officials in the industry, in charge of the technical committee and with
Darwin Hatch, St. Clair Couxens,,, Reed Parker and K. (5. Westlnke to furnish the affidavit as
passengers in the Buick car?, the machines were taken to Thirty-third street and South I'ark
avenue, Chicago, where the attested Warner speedometers were set and officially recorded by
Messrs. Edwards and Hatch, engines were run until they had sucked the gasoline leads dry and
the technical committer carefully supplied each car with one gallon of gasoline that rated (VJ in a
temperature 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Soon after the machines reached Jackson Park, where a two-mile circuit at and near the lake
shore was utilized for a testing ground, the wind set in off the lake, the roadways became sheeted
in ice and the temperature fell to 32 degrees. The southwest wind, that blew 23 miles an hour at
the start, shifted off the lake and became raw and cold, offering great recintanoe to the machines.

3300 pounds and the "37" 3780 pounds, inclu ling four passenger and equipment. The "six" has
