Rugged mountains, hot desert, frustrating traffic, 'violent temperature changes-the 1469-mile course was loaded. ' Grueling as it was, the high performance 1956 cars ran like greased lightning, drivers said. "Floorboard 'er on a stiff grade, she'd really take-off, smooth and quiet ' Wind 'er up to maximum legal speed, we got no high speed cut-out just smooth sailing. Throttle 'er down in traffic, she was smooth as velvet, but ready to jump." When the results were in, the 19 cars had averaged 19.9 miles per gallon. Mobilgas Special gives this kind of go because it is made to squeeze out every last bit of knock-free power and mileage from 1956, 1955 and all other "hot" cars.
