It isn't gasoline that explodes in
the cylinder of your car and
makes power.
It's gas air, mixed in the car
buretor with gasoline to form
vapor.
Red Crown gasoline vaporizes
completely. It forms a homoge
neous mixture with 12 to 16 times
its volume of air. That mixture
explodes cleanly and powerfully,
leaving comparatively little car
bon residue on valves, spark
plugs and cylinder walls.
That's why you get better mileage out
of "Red Crown" and a cleaner, sweeter-running
engine.

Oil Service Stations, at garages and
