Cars pictured represent best mileage of each make.
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. A regular stop at the
Flying Red Horse sign for Mobilgas helps
you to obtain "par" mileage on any course
you run.
