The kind of gasoline you use in your new Studebaker is an important
factor in performance, economy, and service.
It is important to purchase your gasoline from a dealer selling the
product of a reputable refinery in sufficient volume to assure fresh,
clean gasoline which hasn’t accumulated moisture, dirt and tank
settlings from lying dormant for relatively long periods.
_Speed_ Drive at a moderate and constant speed.
_Idling_ Shut off the engine while parked, even for a few minutes, such
as waiting for long freight trains at railroad crossings. Idling, except
to warm up a cold engine, is sheer waste.
_Stopping_ Come to a gradual stop whenever possible. This saves fuel,
brake lining, and tires.
_Accelerating_ If peak economy is to be obtained, acceleration must be
gradual. Rapid acceleration wastes gasoline.
_Tires_ Keep your tires properly inflated.
_Lubrication_ Keep both the engine and chassis well lubricated at all
times. This reduces friction to a minimum.
_Mechanical Condition_ Periodic “tuning” of the engine by your
Studebaker dealer’s service department will insure maximum mechanical
efficiency necessary to good gasoline mileage.
