When I started to ask questions and to try different sorts of gasoline, it did not take very long so decide upon Conoco. For more than a year after I learned to drive, I was forever killing my engine at down-town crossings and stalling on hills. Sometimes my husband would Iaugh at me and sometimes he would scold me for abusing the car, but he did not know much more about gasoline then than I did. I have often heard him say. that all kinds of gasolines are alike. He would not say that now, though! After we decided to use Conaco all the time and had our car- buretor set, most of my troubles vanished like magic. I used to feel a little bit nervous and worried when driving but now, with Conoco in our tank, I am just as happy and confident as I used to pretend to be. admits I’m a good chauffeur. Even my husband occasionally I drive more than I used to but last month I saved enough out of my gasoline allowance to buy two matinee tickets.’’ Conoco promotes economical, trouble-free automobile performance because of its unvarying high quality. it is exactly the same. chain.
