Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 3/4″ ad for Mobilgas Socony-Vacuum. This ad has a drawing showing several cars motoring along a roadway with a Mobilgas emblem over the right-hand side of this picture and the headline shouts “HOTTEST Mileage Story Yet!”. The text says this “Features U.S.A.’s Largest Seller In the 1952 Mobilgas Economy Run! It was 60% longer – much tougher than any previous run, but 25 cars averaged an amazing 22 miles-per-gallon all the way from Los Angeles to Sun Valley, 1415 rugged miles. What a lesson in economy for all U.S. motorists. Just do what those Economy Run drivers did, for all the gas mileage your car can deliver: keep your car in tip-top condition – drive sensibly, safely – insist on Mobilgas or Mobilgas Special from the world’s foremost catalytic refining program”. The bottom of this ad claims that you can “Get All the Gas Mileage Your Car Can Deliver At Your Mobilgas Dealers!”.
