Title: Vehicular Fuels For The 90s

Abstract: What was your first recollection of gasoline, this fluid today which next to water is the most necessary in our lives? For me it was back in 1944 during World War II when my uncle pulled into an ESSO station with his 38 Chevrolet, purchased some gas and along with the money, gave the attendant some stamps. Until he sold the car in 1952, a sticker with the letter A was still on the rear window. There are few things in life which raise the passion of Americans as does their love for their cars and the products they use to power them. Consider the NASCAR races where the major oil companies sponsor and proudly display their corporate names and products on the race cars and billboards throughout the track. Radio and television ads expound the benefits of Sunoco Ultra with the highest octane available, or EXXON with its Formula 4 gasolines, and so on. What is this fluid we took for granted until the fuel crisis of 1973 and 1979, and more recently, sent a half a million American solders to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Operation Desert Storm to fight to keep crude oil-the base product of gasoline flowing to our cars and trucks? What is this orange, tan, blue, or clear liquid which we are so famihar with, and yet know so little about?
