Default Re: Moving the Metal in Houston – Texas Ford Dealers Selling Model A's in 1935

Charlie Kettering and his crew perfected a viable anti-knock compound in the mid-1920's, settling on Tera-ethyl lead.

Supposedly, Amoco has always had an un-leaded gasoline available... I believe this was referred to as "white gas", primarily used as stove & lantern fuel, and as a cleaning-fluid...
