Joaea A Christinas Suggestion B A N K OF G R ESH A M Advance in the Price of Gasoline The price of Red Crown gasoline was advanced 1A cents per gallon on Wednesday, December 17,1919. This advance is due to the fact that the Oregon state law specifies that gasoline shall be of 56 degrees gravity, Baume test, to be saleable in the state, which law necessitates our refining a special gasoline for sale in Oregon. In refining this special gasoline a lower yield is secur ed from the crude oil than in refining our regular gasoline, with con sequent increase in cost of the special gasoline. The advance of 1J cents a gallon in the price does not fully repre sent the additional cost to us of manufacturing the special gasoline. At the same time, the higher price of the special gasoline does not secuie for the user any greater value than is given in our regular gasoline. The 56-degree gravity gasoline that we must specially refine and furnish in Oregon is a less efficient gasoline than that regularly pro duced by this company and sold in Washington, California and else where. Our regular gasoline comes within the United States Govern ment Standard Specfications. It is refined to a set specification of a chain of boiling points determined by our experts as being that which will give the maximum of power and mileage consistent with due re gard to gasoline conservation and the maintenance of reasonable prices to the consumer. G ravity a F alse T est o f G asoline V alu e Gasoline is regularly refineirbv «is with re gard to its range of boiling points—the only true measure of gasoline value. The Oregon State law establishes a gravity standard for gasoline, which is not indicative of gasolin (inalitv. That “ the gravity test is of little or no value in determining the quality of gaso line'’ was stated by the United States Govern ment s Committee on Standardization of 1 <tio- leum Specification» in its report to the Govern ment.
