GASOLINE DOPES
LABORATORY TESTS GIVE POOR REPORT The efforts, of motorists to "stretch" gasoline by the. use of so-called "dopes" apparently are doomed to failure, the U.S. National Automobile Dealers' Association points out. N.A.O.A. received the following report from the National Bureau of Standards: "Although we' have tested hundreds of these, dopes both in laboratory and in vehicles on the road, without finding beneficial results in any case, extensive tests are now being completed on some of the newcomers to make doubly certain of the conclusion. The main conclusions as they now stand are that none of the fuel dopes used in small amounts, such as an ounce or so per gallon of gasoline, have any measurable effect, desirable or otherwise on the operation of the automobile or the miles per gallon of fuel."
