Drivers find gasoline cost per mile down 2O%

To compare gasoline values now with the ''good old days, ,' test drivers at Standard ran popular cars of the 192Os on 1925 gas, '53 models of the same makes on tOday's gas, and '53 models modified to use 1925 gas. All cars were driven over the same course, on the same amount of fuel till they ran out of gas. The results may surprise you.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1953-12-04

TOday's gasoline gives you, under com parable driving conditions, 5O3o more miles per gallon than in 1925! What does it mean to you? Suppose you started on a trip from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe with 12 gal Ions of gasoline route covering all kinds of driving. In the old car with 1925 gas, you'd travel about 131 miles; in the new car modified for 1925 gasoline you'd go 149 miles; but in the new car with today's gasoline, you'd go all the way to Lake
