Today it is'possible to put new power in your car just by driving into a Conoco station and filling up with new Conoco Super Gasoline. 1 For Conoco Super with TCP is a new kind of motor fuel truly the greatest advance in gasoline since the introduction of tetraethyl" lead in 1922. New Conoco Super can actually increase the power of the average car as much as 15 . That's because TCP overcomes the greatest cause of power loss affecting most cars on the road today. Conoco Super Wjith TCP is brought to you by special ar rangement with Shell Oil Company. TCP is Shell's trademark for the remarkable additive originally developed for aviation fuel. Combustion deposits drastically reduce power When you drive your car, deposits constantly build up on spark plugs and in the combustion chambers. These deposits can "cheat" you of power in two ways. First, they, short-circuit spark plugs caus ing them to mis-fire. Second, deposits in the com bustion chambers cause fuel to ignite before it should. This is called pre-ignition or "wild ping." The combined effect of mis-firing and pre-ignition is loss of power and wasted gas. Patent applied for by Shell Oil Company Gasoline. If your "car is'an older "one, Conoco Suncr will restore much of the power you have lost. Conoco Super with TCP is at your Conoco deal er's today. Don't wait another day to start using this new kind of gasoline the greatest develop ment in 31 years! Combustion deposits form here, causing mis-firing and loss of power. TCP neutralizes these deposits, giving top power and performance. How Conoco Supjjr Gasoline with TCP works Now Conoco Super with TC P a cresyl compound dramatically overcomes loss of power and fuel caused by combustion deposits. TC P actually neu tralizes harmful deposits on spark plugs and in combustion chambers. With new Conoco Super your plugs spark as they should. Your fuel ignites as it should. You get and keep "new car" performance. TCP helps your car new or old whether Whether your car is old or new, you can enjoy the benefits of TC P.
