HERE are records established in the most remarkable economy contest ever held—lo 9 Brush cars in 109 cities on he same day ran 100 miles in competition, ith official observers to determine the cost at hich an automobile could be operated. Under :rious road conditions they averaged a cost i 65 9 io cents for 100 miles, while the winner iade the phenomenal record of 39 cents for he distance. It was a Brush car driven by i. R. Del Valle of Los Angeles, California, nd carried a passenger besides the driver. It ran over Southern California roads and ujed 2 1 16 gallons of gasolene and one pint of oil. This is an of 48.4 miles per gallon of gasolene and 800 miles per gallon of oil. It hid no tire or mechanical trouble. At the predetermined cost standards for the contest — 18 cents per gallon of gasolene and 50 cents per gallon of oil—it cost less than Vs of a cent per mile per passenger —an astonishingly low figure. THE second car cost 48 cents — using 2 5 /i6 gallons of gasolene, one quart more than the winner, and the same amount of oil. It had no tire trouble. The third car cost 54 cents making the best oil consumption record —100 miles on a gill, an average of 3200 miles per gallon —a performance equaled, however, by another Brush contestant. The average cost of 65 9 /io cents for the 109 competing Brush cars represented the consumption of less than four gallons of gasolene and IV3 pints of oil. The average mileage of 25 9 /io miles per gallon of gasolene and 609 miles per gallon of oil has never been approached by any car made. QO cars made the 100 miles for a cost of less than one dollar. Note the wonderful consistency! Here is the poorest record —that you may know all sides: It averaged 15.38 miles per gallon of gasolene and 200 miles per gallon of oil. How many cats can equal even this?
