Driven by an unfamiliar operator at about 15 mph, the vehicle completed 17.8 miles on a single gallon of gasoline under the observation of three officials from Detroit automobile groups and newspapers. The run covered city streets and rural roads, ending when the gas tank emptied, with the driver needing careful maneuvers to exit a narrow street.
