Betholine promise of extra mileage and power in heat
On scorching days engines overheat with fuel pump temps 140 to 150 and carbs 145 to 155. Ordinary gasoline boils at 140, wasting mileage. Betholine resists boiling to above 160 due to Benzol, delivering more power units per gallon, improved mileage, smoother performance, and fewer knocks. Try two weeks with Sherwood Dealers and the Men in White.
