Criginal Signed By Thomas C. Austin ' Deputy Executive Officer—Technical

Nr. K. D. Drachand, Chief — 2 — March 23, 1977 Because of the varied effects involved, it would be impossible for us to claim an exact percentage of economy improvement for the Mark—II. Many of the automotive experts from national auto— motive publications have written articles reporting mileage in— creases provided by the Mark—II as high as 20%. The EPA has re— ported a statistically significant 2% mileage increase for our product. Additionally, the EPA test showed small reductions of all three emissions. Therefore, I would like to point out that the APO Mark—II GT Vapor Injector does not adversely effect existing em— ission control devices and should be granted an exemption to ve— hicle code 27156 as requested. Sincerely'yours, [Itt. f. laes APO SALES CO., INC. Allen Best Technical Manager AB/cm
