Weather-Wise Gasoline ^
You’re a smart shopper, hut did
you know the gasoline you bought
at your local station yesterday isn’t
the same as the gasoline you bought
there last winter? And gasoline you
buy in the mountains this summer
will he different from the same brand
at lower altitudes.
£
Shell people ted me gasoline is
’tailor-made for seasons and areas.
Gasoline works well only when it’s
properly vaporized. And vaporiza¬
tion varies with weather and geo¬
graphical conditions.
So ... oil men divide the year into
three seasons—summer, winter and
spring-fall —and the country into
weather sections. For each, they pre¬
scribe, on a monthly basis, the fuel
with the best rate of vaporization—
faster in cold areas and in winter,
slower in warm areas and in summer.
In some areas, chemicals are put
into gasoline to eliminate carburetor
icing. Sometimes additives are used
in counteracting moisture that gets
into gasoline in the fuel line.
Octane ratings of gasoline also vary
from one section to another because
engine “knock” is affected by weath¬
er and altitude.
You don't have to worry about
any of this. Manufacturers of well-
known gasolines take care of it and
make sure that you get the right
blend of gasoline wherever and when¬
ever you need it.
