Description: Transcription: Narrator Once upon a time, 0:05 there were two drivers. 0:06 The not so smart driver who got terrible gasoline mileage 0:07 'cause he never took care of himself 0:11 and the smart driver who got great mileage 0:13 'cause he'd see his wise friend, 0:16 his independent Texaco retailer, for regular maintenance. 0:18 He'd check under his hood, tune him up, 0:22 he'd check him out, even take him for a test ride. 0:25 His friend got him in great shape for great mileage. 0:29 Now the not-so-smart driver never ran right. 0:33 He sensed he needed a tuneup 0:36 'cause he was eating up fuel. 0:39 He'd idle rough, misfire, even stall. 0:41 Finally, he conked out where there wasn't a friend in sight. 0:45 Our moral, don't be a dumb bunny, 0:50 be a smart driver. 0:52 Get better gasoline mileage and save money and trouble. 0:54 See your independent Texaco retailer. 0:57
