Esso Extra sells for premium—not super-
pffchiium—price, but it out-performs many
gasolines selling for lc to 2c more.
Out-performs them in clean-burning
characteristics: it burns so clean that spark-
plugs last up to 50% longer.
Out-performs them in anti-knock oper-
ation: its octane rating is high—higher, in
fact, than the octane rating of many gasolines
for which motorists pay a super-premium price.
Out-performs them in quick starting . . .
in smooth, safe acceleration ... in mileage.
