A PRANK MAALUMBER piece recalls the 1906 Mobil Economy Run and later cross country tests showing fuel efficiency trends. It notes Willys four cylinder cars set the record at 38.21 mpg while public indifference in 1976 slowed demand for economy cars and highlights historic aims of cross country runs to compare cars by fuel use and class.
The discussion centers on fuel saving tactics like steady speeds and wheel alignment while noting large differences in mpg between unofficial and official race entries. It also covers air bag versus seat belt mandates, with tests showing belts remain essential for rear and side impacts and rollovers, and studies suggesting substantial loss reductions from belts and bags.
