Abstract
Paper describes three collegiate automobile runs sponsored by American Motors Corp. to demonstrate that savings in fuel are possible when good driving practices are observed. Driving 1974 Gremlins, the young winners proved that “typical” drivers can in fact achieve economies in fuel of the kind that are being sought nationally at the present time. Reduction of speed proved to be a major contributing factor.
