Every year about the mid dle of May, while the snow still lies deep in thft mountain passes, from 15 to 20 cars start the stren uous 360-mile run across the interior valleys and up the difficult mountain roads into the Yosemite Val ley. Every car is carefully groomed for victory, and driven by an expert. ' ' 1 , i And in all the six runs so far held, all cars entered have used Red Crown gasoline ex clusivefy. , This year the car making the run on the lowest consumption of fuel, a Chevrolet driven by Dom inick Basso, made the entire trip of 360 miles on 12 gallons of "Red Crown" (an average of 30 miles to the gallon), and a pint of Zerolene. The average gasoline consumption for all cars participating was phenomenally low, This furnishes striking evidence of the continued success of this company in manufacturing a motor-car fuel of the highest grade, justifying for six successive years the unanimous choice of automotive engineers eager to establish the best possible records for their cars. This year, 18 of the 20 cars entered made the entire distance on less than 20 gallons of "Red Crown," although owing to recent rains the roads were unusually difficult. Red Crown gasoline is the most economical motor fuel on the market today, because it con tains the maximum number of heat units that can be rapidly and uniformly vaporized in the modern carburetor and go into complete combustion in the cylinders, producing the maximum power the engine was designed to develop.
