THE greatest strides in automo
bile motor development have
come through high compres
sion. The modern 91.5 inch racing
motor which has developed more
than 280 horse-power and a speed
greater than 164 miles per hour is
only one-half the size of the old
Model T Ford, which was capable
of developing only 25 horse-power.
High compression has done it!
Two years ago only , a year
ago less than 21, while today
more than 56 of American
automobile manufacturers are
producing high compression
motors! Compression ratios
. are constantly increasing be
.cause with high compression
there is less fuel consump
tion greater power great
er speed and acceleration,
with generally reduced op-
High Compression m o t o r s w cr e
not commercially practical however,'
until a fuel was developed that would
function where ordinary gasolines
failed. This fuel is Ethyl Gasoline,'
developed and proved after many
years research and the expenditure,
of thousands of dollars. Blended
with the finest gasolines by 42 of
the largest and best known oil com-'
panies in the world, it is the only,
genuine anti-knock fuel for high1
compression motors. "1
Because Ethyl Gasoline is dyed td
distinguish it from ordinary gaso-'
lines, hundreds of imitators have
produced dyed or so-called anti-j
knock gasolines whose chief merit
is their many claims. Ethyl Gaso
line is the only genuine, anti-knock,
high compression fuel; and can be
