Two Grades of Gae Used Sponsored by General Petroleum Corporation, the rigidiy controlled test dramatically demonstrates the performance, economy, and safety of the 1950 automobile when correctly driven, lubricated and fueled. We per mitted entrants to select cither regular (Mobilgas) or premium (Mobilgas Special) grade of gasoline in order to 4 more closely parallel the actual choice that real performance with economy is within the reach ol every motonst when the grade of gasoline best suited to the operation of the car is used and the car is properly and safely driven. The tough run was designed to test performance and economy : there were 61 miles of city driving. 335 miles of mountain roads, and 355 miles of level highway. Into the 2 day test we crammed temperature and altitude variation that the average motorist would encounter in a year. Temper atures dropped from over 70 in Death Valley to below freezing in the moun tains. Altitudes ranged from below sea level to over 7000 feet. Cars in Peak Condition To illustrate the relationship of economy and performance to correct lubrication, 3-A officials drained, flushed and refilled every crankcue with regular Mobiloil to give engines full protection under both hot and cold temperatures. All gear housings were drained, flushed and refilled with correct grade of Mobil greases. Engine cooling systems were conditioned for sub-zero temperatures with Mobil Anti-Frecze. Out of the Mobilgas Grand Canyon Run have come authentic results to guide the motorist in his choice of gasoline and motor oil. It shows what performance and economy any motorist can gain when a well-conditioned car is properly driven. It proved again the ingenuity of the car builder and the technical skill of the petroleum chemist, who, combined, continue to give Americans their biggest dollar value.
