However, just 73 and one-half hours driving time were required to bring the car into the city limits of Los Angeles, a distance of 2,442 miles in all. To accomplish this the Whippet sedan had to maintain an average speed of more than 33 miles an hour from the mid-west to the far off Pacific Coast c’ “We used 109 gallo or an average of 22 miles a gallon,” Mr. Elmore said. “Our total oil con- sumption was one and one-half gal- lons.
