Description: Transcription: (mysterious music) 0:00 Phil Hyde It was like something out of a spy movie, 0:02 everywhere I drove there he was right behind me. 0:04 Actually, he was Ron Stanton, professional test driver, 0:07 following me in a Texaco gasoline mileage test. 0:11 Texaco had given us identical Rambler classics 0:14 and identical amounts of fuel. 0:17 Mine was Sky Chief, localized for the climate in this area. 0:19 Ron got a blend they deliberately hadn't localized. 0:23 Ron followed me for days on short hops around town. 0:26 I thought, sure I'd run dry first. 0:29 Then late the third day, the mileage expert ran dry, 0:31 but I had enough gasoline left 0:35 to get him back to the station. 0:37 How come? 0:38 Well only Texaco gasoline's 0:39 are localized in all 50 states. 0:41 Localizing gave me faster, low temperature warmups. 0:44 So I got better mileage, better mileage than the expert. 0:47 ♪ You can trust your car ♪ 0:50 ♪ To the man who wears the star ♪ 0:52 ♪ The biggest friend your car has ever had ♪ 0:54
