We chose for our route Bethlehem Pike, through Allentown, Easton, finishing at Delaware Water Gap
with following results;
Distance, 100 miles.
Time, 6 hours 55 minutes. Lubricating oil used, 1 gallon.
Gasoline used, 12 gallons.
Motor or car was not stopped nor was transmission out of low gear or clutch released during the entire
distance. Figuring difference in gear ratio this equals 336 miles on high gear, or an average of 48 miles per
hour for nearly seven hours; also equaling 28 miles per gallon of gasoline, 340 miles on gallon of cylinder oil.
