The problem has been approached I'om every angle: (a) The oil producers are constantly prospecting for new fields. They have sunk many wells and are doing everything possible to increase petroleum production. Xb) The oil refiners, with the help of their chemi cal engineers, are ever devising new and im proved processes of rerining by which they squeeze every possible drop of gasoline out of :, each barrel of petroleum, . (c) The automotive engineers have aided much in gasoline conservation by their constant improvement of automobile engines and methods o4-crburization. Their efforts are tc secure The operation of automobiles on grades of gasoline that permit the maximum production of this motor fuel from each bar rel of crude oil and which, at the same time, will give the greatest power and mileage from each unit of gasoline consumed. All these methods are succeeding. to a marked de gree, and yet gasoline consumption is increasing much faster than production. Facing these bald facts last summer, it became evident to President Wilson and the United States Fuel Administration that there was virtually as great need for gasoline conservation as for food conserva tion. In consequence the United States Fuel Adminis tration requested Eastern states to discontinue en tirely all non-essentbl use of passeger automobiles, and for time this request was so extended that nly automobiles in Government, emergency or war service were in use on Sunday. These limitations were not extended to the Western states, because at the time there was enough gasoline being produced lu California' for Pacific Coast needs and its distri bution did not require the use of transcontinental transportation facilities needed for war. ' tt waa part ol this same campaign to .conserve gaseUnc U'.st led President Wiltea to appoint a Gov- it anuuitw t determine and adopt standard A in, ' s. specifications for gasoline and other petrftjetms ucts. I This committee consisted of the United i Fuel Administration and representatives i ut and Navy Departments, the United Stages Sg Board, the Director General of Railroadsthe a of Mines and the Bureau of Standards. The committee was assisted and advistet b- nical experts from each of these departmed bodies. T; After extended discussions, exhaustive, ted experimentation, this Government commjttei. ted standard specifications for gasoline, Bpt r aviation purposes, but also for general rnqtotj land and sea. These United States Government speeiij were drawn up with a view to providing a ( gasoline that would meet every practical i ment and yet allow maximum production TU with the problem on the basis of the best Ut of our petroleum resources, and the maistenf reasonable prices to the consumer. ,' Drafted as they were by impartial Govemi. perts, these United States Government specifications are today being generally ccnj aa the most practical standard for gasolsnty insure an efficient and satisfactory gasoline the same time have due regard for the neci( petroleum conservation. The gasoline being furnished today is mor erful and gives greater mileage than the gasil ten years ago. Its use is made possible bf h provements in automobile engines andjt carburiiatioo. To go back to tbo. asoiiatc years ago would be to accept a more highi' U but less powerful gasoline giving le96 mi ci; would also result in decreasing the profit increasing the cost. of gasoline' ' f All Red Crowd gasoline now being tuppl cu Pacific Cqast states is. refined ta conform! v United Statea Government standard pef-V it nas tne lull, uniform chain of boiling pari. essary for full-powered, dependable gatol boiling points for easy starting,- medtcsj points for quick, smooth acceleration, aid I ing points tor power and mileage. ; 1 r ' 4 ..T ; .
