Steadily Improved, Year by Year As motors became more powerful, as compres- sion increased, as operating temperatures moved up, Amoco-Gas kept pace, stepping up quality and efficiency with each motor improvement. Amoco Does It Again! For years chemists and engineers have striven to improve gasoline efficiency even more, by regu- lating its combustion in the cylinders. They knew that if a way could be found to cut down violent, explosive shock, much power-waste could be elimi- nated — transformed into useful energy. Hydro-forming Solves The Problem! Now the problem has been solved by the revolu- tionary new Hydro-forming Process of refining gasoline, pioneered by the American Oil Company, and used to make Hydro-formed Amoco-Gas. Hydro-forming imparts new and even mightier qualities to Amoco. Most important of all, it per- mits combustion control — Flame Control! Over twenty-five years ago, the American Oil Company gave Amoco-Gas to the public. It was the first special motor fuel — making possible the high compression automobile motor. At first people smiled — wondered why a special fuel was necessary. Then they tried Amoco-Gas, and discovered that they obtained performance and economy absolutely impossible for any ordinary Flame Control Gives Cushioned Power! Hydro-formed Amoco-Gas burns in a different way. Flame Control reduces violent, explosive shock, cuts down waste, and produces more useful energy. Cushioned Power now replaces severe de- tonation — delivers a satin-soft, s-m-0-0-t-h surge of energy — a flow of driving power that follows the pistons through their entire course. Vibration is hushed — destructive pounding on bearings and moving parts is reduced. Better Road Octane! Official results of road tests by Industry Com mittees show that conventional gasolines, on the average, lose octanes on the road. Hydro-formed Amoco-Gas actually gains them — surpassing labo- ratory figures because its knock-arresting consti- tuents become vaporized, distributed more evenly and impartially to all cylinders alike. An All-time High in Quality! Good as Amoco-Gas has always been, it is now mightier than ever — reaching an all-time high in quality and efficiency. Everything that makes for outstanding performance moves to new levels. Point for point, it is the finest motor fuel we have ever produced. Test Hydro-formed Amoco-Gas yourself! Com- pare it feature for feature, with any other gas you have ever used. See how it outdates your old con- ception of quick starting, of getaway and pickup, of pulling power and mileage. Never before have we made such a mighty motor fuel! Always the best — now better than ever! © AMERICAN OIL COMPAKY iE i sib § FRR RN 171 17 (188 | TT | Pi jf i fiaseniil 1
