Show 'Oil Co. Announces ' New Auto Gasoline Standard Oil Company of California Cali-fornia today announced the West's first automotive gasoline made with an aviation anti-knock fuel formula. Company engineers say the new gasoline is designed to meet the special performance requirements of increased compression ratios, radical cylinder head designs, and critical valve operation in modern engines. Extensive tests In Standard's laboratories and on the road indicate indi-cate the new gasoline lengthens valve life and reduces combustion chamber deposits, thus improving octane performance. A substantial substan-tial reduction in wear rate of piston pis-ton rings and cylinder walls also is reported in the tests. |
