Long promised by the company, long awaited by millions of' motorists, Sunoto Dynafuel is not just another new gasoline.

but a. new kind of super power for American automobiles. In speaking of thla historic milestone in the progress of Amercan motoring, one official said, "Amer ica's victory in the air was won largely because of high octane aviation fuel produced in mass quantities by catalytic cracking, a' process first developed for major production by the Sun Oil Company. "Sun Oil engineering research was carried into the secrets of the molecular construction of gasoline itself. Sun engineers found 'out how to tear apart petroleum molecules and put them together again in an entirely new pattern, making possible this new type of super fuel.

"Known to engineers is the fact that in gasoline, heavy molecules are low In octane quality, light molecules are high octane. However, and this is the big difference, in Dynafuel, both the heavy and light molecules deliver equally high octane power, thus giving unifomly high knock- less performance in all cylinders." Sun Oil Company also announced that its policy, which was in effect before the war, of marketing only one grade of gasoline, will again be in effect. All of its extensive facilities will be devoted to marketing of Sunoco Dynafuel exclusively.
