Regarding the point of compelling
refiners to make only high gr:
product# because gasoline stoves and
i.ghting plants are unsafe when the
heavier grades are used, refiners he*
that the use of gasoline for such pur
joses is on Ike decrease.

of the Casinghead Gasoline Manu

stated that the gravity test is meaning
less. He said that gasoline, with
the same gravity, but mace from
different crudes or from crude and

wide difference by the distilling test.
