In "Runner" (:30) an athlete leading the pack in a marathon stops in a Mobil Mart to buy a bottle of water. He uses his Mobil Speedpass to pay and cools down by pouring the water on his face. Noticing that the rest of the runners are gaining on him, he gets back into the race. The voiceover points out, "Refuel in the store too. It’s another way Mobil keeps you ahead."
