Be fore its valve is turned on, the reg ular gasoline feed to the engine is turned off, and the engine is run until it stops, indicating that fuel in the carburetor and feed line is exhausted. Then the valve leading to the Mileage Meter is opened, the ’ engine is started, and the test is under way. Mileage on the odometer is noted carefully when the car is started, and again when exhrustion of its gasoline causes the engine to stop. The two mileages are subtracted, and the difference multiplied’ by tight, which shows gasoline consum ption in miles per gallon. “The test has shown some amaz ing results,” said Mr. Salomonsen. “It has proved to hundreds of people that in the new Chevrolet they can enjoy fast getaway, peak power on hills, and marked economy is well. Actually, of course, this •omes about as a result of perfect- 'y n: tural laws. The six-cylinder valve-in-head engine is the explana tion, for it gets more power per cubic inch of piston displacement han any other type, which means hat it uses less fuel to cover a given distance. “A factor in the high mileage obtained, undoubtedly, is the erse nd speed with which the power is controlled by the driver, The new vacuum gearshift with steering column control substitutes the flick af a finger for the old convention gearshifting “reach,” and the tip .oe-matic clutch, exclusive to Chev- rolet in its field, further reduces the work of driving.” Prizes, Mr. Salomonsen said, will include, first prize, $15.00 in mer chandise, second, $10.00 in merchan dise.
