Red Crown Shows Remarkable Test
40 Judged BY G. a. c.
Committee.

Surprising results were obtained
Tuesday in Chicago, when in a, dis
lance test on the boulevards, a 1915
big six went 1871 miles on q gallon Of
Red Crown gasoline. The test was
made to demonstrate the fuel econ
omy Of high test gasoline, by the tech
nicaf committee OF the Chicago Auto
mobile club.
Red Grown gasoline, So test, wa.
decided upon by the judges and driv
ers as the best sakoline to be used
All through the trip the clutch was
not slipped. except when traffic coz
gestion made it necessary. The dash
adjustment on the carburetor was
disconnected, and In order that the
test be fair one, the fan was in oper
alton throughout the run.
Next came the acceleration test
With the 5carburetor adjustment the
same as during the economy run, the
car was driven from standing start tc
thirty miles an hour In IL as seconds
The fexibility test saw the car run al
four miles an hour, then speeded ul
to forty.four
This test proves that the six is moi
an excessive fuel consumer, where the
best gasoline IL used.
