SOCONY MOBIL

This exhibition, located in a low, red-roofed pavilion, is devoted to a game. On a large map of the United States is marked the route of the most recent Mobil Economy Run - a grueling cross-country test in which experts try to get the most efficient gasoline consumption out of new cars. Contestants seated at automobile controls "drive" this route, attempting to hold down fuel consumption.

Although the company's formal name was Socony Mobil, it was best known to the public as just Mobil. (CD9 Set 48 #37)
