STOP AND GO DRIVING IS COSTLY

Every time you start up from a normal traffic stop, you can waste enough gasoline to drive a third of a mile!

To cut down the high cost of today's stop-and-go driving in village, town, and city, Shell engineers developed a way to "balance" gasoline.

This balancing process re-arranges the entire chemical structure of gasoline - makes it "digestible" for your engine -just as cooking makes food digestible for you.

Your motor gets the full benefit of Super-Shell's high energy content.

Super-Shell-the "MOTORDIGESTIBLE" gasoline is sold from coast to coast.

There's a Shell station in your neighborhood. Stop there "next time."

Round town

4 out of every 5 miles you drive are STOP and GO
