Gasoline Economy
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.
