Twenty and one-tenth wiles on one gallon of paooline by a six-cy Indor Huiok car! Thal'i
the mark that the Buick Motor Company may advertise to the world an an ollioiul performance.
Not only did the lUick "Six" net this remarkable economy mark on January 14, but the
Model B-25, under similar running conditions, made 22 7 miles pr gallon, while third ma

the most conscientious officials in the industry, in charge of the technical committee and with
Darwin Hatch, St. Clair Couzens,,, Reed Parker and E. U. Westlake to furnish the affidavits as
passengers in the Buick cars, the machines were taken to Thirty-third street and South Park
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 oommittea carefully supplied each car with one gallon of gasoline that rated G2 in a
temperature 65 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 S3 miles an hour at
the start, shifted off the lake and became raw and oold, offering great rebalance to the machines.

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