Hi
U. S. Flying Forces and Synthetic Rubber Tires
Get the Vital Benzene of Gasco Motor Fud
O Gasco contains benzene, and because it
does, we have enlisted every gallon for
the duration.
Nowj by adding Gasco's benzene to 100
octane aviation gasoline, which itself tops
anything now being used by the Axis, we
can give our pilots an even more power
ful aviation fuel.
For lightning-fast U. S. fighters, this ben
zene blend will mean still faster take-offs
to meet the enemy, still faster climb in
dogfights. For our long-distance bombers,
it will mean reserve power for taking off
with heavier bomb loads than ever.
Gasco's benzene has one other big war
job. Transformed to styrene, it will team
up with butadiene to make synthetic rub
ber. So you may be riding on Gasco even
before it returns to your automobile as
fuel. Until it does, the Gasco pumps of
Shell dealers will offer you Shell Premium,
a gasoline that delivers today's top per
formance in cars.
We know our Gasco customers will be
just as proud as Shell to see Gasco take
on these important wartime duties.
