MOBIL. Would-be drivers park themselves behind a steering wheel, peer through their "windshield"—a 21-in. TV screen—onto a highway, soon find themselves skidding around hairpin curves, past oncoming trains and, chances are, smack into the truck ahead. Who survives best gets the highest score.

RESTAURANTS

FESTIVAL OF GAS has a Restaurant As sociates (Four Seasons, Forum) restaurant that features such American dishes as beef blazed with bourbon and country-baked ham. $6-$12. *

SPANISH PAVILION'S two restaurants are Toledo, which serves excellently cooked, superbly served French and Spanish food ($5-$25), and Granada, which has an all-Spanish menu and slightly lower prices.

NEW ENGLAND PAVILION has a colonial restaurant called The Millstone, which serves such local specialties as johnny-cakes with maple syrup, clam chowder, breaded lobster, blueberry slump and apple grunt. If you order the slump or the grunt without the fruit, they hand you the check. $5-$9.

MOULTRAY'S POLYNESIAN, for those who like their eggs rolled and everything else bamboo-speared. $3-$12.

MEXICAN PAVILION has a restaurant called Focolare with handsome decor and fine Mexican food, if you like the after burner effect. $4-$15.

DANISH PAVILION'S restaurant sets a grand cold table that groans under a con geries of herring, lobster, tiny shoe-button shrimp, superb smoked salmon, cold meats, sausages, pates and cheeses, all crying out for good Danish beer. $6.50.

SWEDISH PAVILION also has a cold board, but you serve yourself. $6.

INDONESIAN PAVILION, for the adventurous, serves up fine native dishes, feasting the eyes meanwhile with Sumatran and Balinese dancers. $7.75.

LE CHALET. From a little fresh-air balcony in the Swiss pavilion, you can watch aerial gondolas, sip cool rose wine, sample cheese fondues. $4.50-$9.

Many visitors lack stomach, time or money for such astronomic gastronomies. Decent snacks at reasonable prices can be had in the International Plaza at many small bars, stands and cafes in the various individual international pavilions, or in some of the restaurants run by beer com panies. And delectable Belgian waffles, sold at stands in the Belgian Village, the International Plaza and elsewhere, are a 99¢ must. If you're really counting pennies, though, take exact change. The waffling Belgians have been declining to give back the 1¢ on the dollar, pleading a coin shortage.
