Tetra-ethyl lead, when added to gaiolint,
raises tho octcnn number of the gasoline and
reduces or eliminates motor "ping." But tetro- •
ethyl lead has recently become a critical war
material ... so critical t{iat the Petroleum
Administration tor War has directed all refinori
•f premium graJo fuels to limit their production
•f such gasoline to one-half the amount pro-
duced during tho tl* months prior o June 1944.
This reduces drastically tho amount of premium
gasoHne available to civilians.
Also in Hie interest a# conserving wur-vitol
tetra-olhyl load, f. A. W. has directed that
less of it be atod in tho manufacture of all
Regular gasoline Confidently tfce octano
number of this product hot been reduced from
72 to 70.
So, if your Hum'jle Station is temporarily out
of Esso Extra, or if Humbls Regular does not
perform in your cc;r liko it did in the past,
plt ase remember that tetra-ethyl had is roally

interest of an earlier Victory.
