We know you have questions
about anti-pollution gasolines.
1. Will taking lead out of gasoline help clean up the air?
Yes, although it won’t do the whole jot. But it will get
rid of the lead particulates that escape from your
exhaust. That’s why weVe taken most of the lead out
of new Big Plus.
2. Why not take out all the lead?
We could have made a totally lead-free gasoline,, of
course. But engine testing shows that some lead is
needed to prevent possible valve damage.
So we left half a cc of lead per gallon in Big Plus.
3. Do you have to settle for low octane
in an anti-pollution gasoline?
Not necessarily. Big Plus has a research octane of 96,
high enough so that 9 out of 10 drivers can use it with
out worrying about engine knock.
Whereas, this property will
greatly benefit \ the present
and future citizens of Eden
ton, and
Whereas, this is the begin
ning of a program to beautify
the Bdenton waterfront,
Now Therefore, Be It Re
solved, that the Town Coun
cil of the Town of Edenton
expresses its sincere appre
ciation to the officials of
Union Camp Corp., for their
community spirit and express
es the appreciation of all the
citizens of Edenton and
Be It Further Resolved, that
a copy of the resolution be
spread upon the minutes of
thf proceedings of the Town
Council of the Town of Eden
ton held on Augur.*. 11, 1970,

4. What about the other kinds of pollution?
To reduce hydrocarbon emissions and other pollu
tants, we doubled the amount of engine-cleaning
detergent in our new gasoline.
So Big Plus cleans up your carburetor and helps
keep your engine running clean.
5. Is an anti-pollution gasoline expensive?
Not Big Plus. We priced it below premium. And since
- it cleans deposits from your carburetor, it cuts fuel
waste and improves your mileage, too.
