Ford Fuel Economy Gas
Consumption Plan Shown
Winner Runs 40 3 Miles on Gallon;
3.S7 Average-Practical for In
dustrial Purposes

The results of a competitive gaso-
line consumption test for standard
Ford cars, recently held at Charlotte,
North Carolina, make it more GER
tain that ever that the Ford car, for
fuel economy, ranks at the forefront
of motordom.
There was class separation in the
Charlotte test. The w'rning ~ar in
the open-car class, dt1yel BY r. IS.
Deal, of Ka1napolis, North Carolina.
made a mileage of Ie.3 on single
gallon of gasoline; the second pr.ze
IN the sane class " mt 20 D. T. Bar
ringer, of Concord, North Carolina,
whose score was 48. IS.
In the closed-car Cas- e.. F. Nc
tIinnis of Charlotte won first place
with a mileage of 49,. For second
place, L. z. Pinning er, of Charlotte
and Miss Eska Baker. of Marshville
tied with a score of A1.8G each.
The Charlotte test was remarkable
not only for the high mileage of the
leading cars but for the average fo1
all the cars entered, which was 80. z
miles per gallon of gaso.ne. It is
the opinion of many that the general
ly excellent scores made are due
largely to the Ford gasoline tank
which is shaped to deliver every drop
of gasoline to the carburetor.
The contest was promoted by eigh-
teen dealers from Charlotte and
nearby towns. Each dealer contrib
uted to the cash prizes, which total
ed three hundred dollars. AS in the
Augusta, Georgia, test, elimination
contests were held by the dealers in
volved, and the winners of these con-
tests in each car class were entered
in the test at Charlotte.
The conditions of the test admit
ted only 1926 model Ford cars with
standard Ford equipment, driven by
their owners. Before the start of the
test the tanks, carburetors, sediment
bulbs, and feed pipes of all contest
ing cars were completely drained Of
gasoline. A measured gallon of gas
oline was then poured into each tank.
and the tank sealed. Each hood was
also sealed on both sides. Three dis.
interested judges, Thomas Mop

pany), Joseph G. Fitzsimmons( Caro-
lima Auto Supply House), and Thorn
as j. Pierson Charlotte Observer)
supervised the draining, filling and
sealing. The cars had previously
been inspected by trained mechanics,
to insure that only standard Ford
equipment was being used. The dis
tances travelled by the contestants
were measured on a speedometer
which had previously been checked
with the speedometers of Officers
