The only way to judge a gasoline accurately is to give it these three tests: I DOES IT START EASILY? 76 Gasoline is so precisely blended that it con- tains exactly the right amount ot light fractions for easy starting. DO YOU GET SMOOTH, EVEN ACCELERATION ? To give gasoline the accelerator test, start with your engine idling, then give'it a steady increase in throttle until you reach cruising speed. A top- notch gasoline like 76 will give you a feeling of smooth, easy power. DO YOU GET GOOD MILEAGE ? Expert care in blending also gives 76 an excel- lent mileage record. It contains enough of the slow-burning, heavier gasoline fractions to insure economical performance. e et e e You be the judge! The next time you need gasoline, fill up with 76 and see for yourself how it fills the bill for easy starting, smooth acceleration, economical performance. 76 is available at all Union Oil Company marine stations.
