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.

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

no value in determining the quality of gaso
line'’ was stated by the United States Govern
ment s Committee on Standardization of 1 <tio-

adopted standards for gasoline based on boil
