New Type Gas
Announced

A new type of gasoline which
matches the modern streamlined
automobiles, was announced today
by Raymond King, who manages
the Amoco Service Station at
Montgomery avenue and Baltimore
road, Rockville.
In making this announcement,
Mr.. King stated that the new gas
oline was the result of the installa-
ton of a new and much talked
about hydroforming process at the
Pan American refinery, at Texas
City, Texas.
This process is of particular in
terest today from the standpoint of
national defense as it not only
gives the motoring public a new
type of gasoline, of high anti-knock
value, but provides a new source of
high octane aviation fuel, as well
as a potential quality of toluene, a
substance vitality needed in the
manufacture of T. N. T. High
octane gasolines are of great value
to commercial and military planes
because these gasolines enable
them to fly at higher attitudes,
greater speeds, over longer dis
tances, and to have greater carry
ing capacity.
