From flying fuels, perfected for fighting planes,
come the war-born improvements that make Chevron
Supreme as new as the gasolines that powered B-29s.
But, of course, your car doesn't have an aircraft engine,
so Chevron Supreme is "tailored" to automobile needs.
Though a high octane rating is one thing that's
new about Chevron Supreme, that's just the beginning.
Fast starts, smooth acceleration, pinglcss power make
it an all-around highway champion the kind of gas
oline that makes every trip a pleasure trip.
Frankly; high-octane gasoline can't give your car any
more power than its engine was designed to produce.
But, in refineries built to make aviation fuel, Chevron
Supreme is given blending agents that boost its octane
rating safely beyond what any present car requires.
NOW see for yourself
how much fun driving
can be try
