The sixth annual MobUgas Economy Run which finished Wednesday at the foot oi Pike's Peak, after covering 1323 tortuous miles from Los Angeles in 2 days, proved one thing for sure: when American car man ufacturers added horsepower, they didn't sacrifice mileage. The 21 American cars, which were equipped with automatic transmission and certified absolutely stock by American Auto mobile Association, averaged an impressive 21.5 miles per gallon. This was achieved even though the average horsepower increase ol 1955 over 1954 models was 17.6 per cent an average increase of 26.7 horsepower. The route chosen by AAA represented every road condition a motorist would nor mally experience in a year. Each contestant ran a maximum legal speed to meet time re quirements. He adhered to normal driving rules and traffic conditions; to see that this was accomplished, he had at his side an official AAA observer. Each car, competing against others in its price class, was in top condition properly fueled with Mobilgas and lubricated with MobOoil. Again, the Mobilgas Economy Run proves the mileage performance possible when good cars, good drivers, and good petroleum prod ucts work together.
