The Company that gave America its FIRST
special motor fuel is now FIRST AGAIN...with
new, mightier HYDRO-FORMED AMOCO!
gasoline to deliver.
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!
