T h ey affected a vital w a r necessity regarding w hich the G overnm ent required secrecy. B u t nov/ th a t the w a r is won, w e are a t liberty to m ake the following sta te m e n t of facts: Highly volatile gasoline for fighting- aeroplanes was one of the war needs. The output of this special gasoline by all the refineries east of the Rocky Mountains was not enough, so Califor nia was called upon to furnish a large part of the supply. At the request of the United States Government the Pa cific Coast Petroleum War Service Committee apportioned California’s quota among such of the large refiners as were able to make this special gaso line. The Standard Oil Company, being the largest of these, had the greatest quota to fill. We were glad to do our part. We supplied more than our quo ta of aviation gasoline. Aeroplane engines, operating high in the air under conditions of extreme cold and rarefied atmosphere, require a different gasoline from engines operat ing on the ground. In fact, the needs are so special that the gasoline manu factured for aeroplane use (often used at altitudes of from 20,000 to 25,000 feet) would be utterly indifferent for use in automobile or other internal- combustion engines operated on land or sea. Aviation gasoline has to be highly volatile. It must vaporize rapidly even in the extreme cold of very high alti- tudes. On its rapid vaporization alone must often depend the lives of the men in the aeroplane. This gasoline would not be good for general use. It would lack power on the ground, its loss in storage by evaporation would be great, and it would be expensive. Making aviation gasoline for the Government took a very considerable part of the low boiling point or highly volatile constituents of the crude oil, and, as a result, the gasoline left avail able for regular use lacked those quali ties which assure easy starting of the automobile engine. The Government’s demand for avi ation gasoline reached its maximum in the late fall of 1918, and then for a peri od of about six weeks the deficiency of Red Crown gasoline hi low boiling- point constituents or easy - starting qualities was rr.c st apparent.
