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. “Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch . . .
