Some remarkable mileages are claimed for Perkins 4.203 diesel engines in sorely tried taxis in Montevideo, capital of Uruguay. Seventy-year-old Jose Varela owns a Chevrolet cab a little younger than himself but with a Perkins engine that is still going well at about 373,000 miles. As long as it gives no trouble during its average working day of 11 hours, he will not change ;
Hugo Germona, who ha 10-year-old Dodge that punished by three drivers 24 hours a day, is as ; thusiastic as Jose Var, about the 4.203 engine. 1 Cab probably averages 3 miles a day, mostly on sh trips within the city boi daries, which is ti enough for any engine.
