Two Kinds of Gasoline
Detonating Non-Detonating
DIFFERENT gasolines explode in
different ways. One kind delivers
a single, crashing, instantaneous blow to
the piston head. y
It increases vibration.
It has a tendency to "knock."
And this explosion, spending its energy
in one sudden detonation, lacks the full
possibilities of the most effective power.
But there is another and better kind
of explosion.
It is the more efficient kind from Union
Non-Detonating Gasoline. These ex
plosions are quick but extended. They
exert power throughout the en
tire piston stroke.
So Union Gasoline doesn't
cause "knocking" or vibration.
It produces more power op hills.
There is a sort of series of over
lapping explosions. This means a follow
through more speed on the straight-away
and a quicker, surer snap in the pick-up.
Therefore, Union Gasoline improves
the operation of your motor just as
though the motor itself were improved.
You feel the difference at the wheel.
You find new pleasure in motoring and
increased pride in your car.
These are results worth while. Test
them yourself. You will recognize the
difference in a mere two days' driving
fifty miles.
Try it today." Fill your tank with
Union Non-Detonating Gasoiine and
use it unmixed with any other kind to
know how smoothly and powerfully your
motor can perform.
