A few days agoe I @rove from Seattle to Portland. I was in formed variously that the road Was cluttered with stalled auto Pparties.

And [ll tell you why I think so. Craning my neck for a gas sin as I passed thru Centralia, I saw this sign in big letters, hanging on a gas pump: “Gas, Imported, 38 Cents a Galion.” I never thought I'd pay 38 cents R for gas, but I was glad to purchase § just then. “What do you mean—Iimported gasoline?” I asked “This is 20,000 gallona we got from Kansas City, and it is some ) gas. It will test better than 60.” } Now, I put five gallons of this ! “imported” gas in with ten gallons of Coast was, and whereas I would have used ten gallons for the Balance of the trip, I found that I used a bit less than six Now, if that gas, diluted two thirds, gave that sort of results, what would have happened had I used it straight?
