    This was shortly before the name change to Exxon.

    I'd like to know how gasoline is going to fix a problem caused by the fuel mixture momentarily being too lean.

    No. It was Esso in the eastern U.S. and Enco in the central and western U.S. Both brands were superceded by Exxon nationwide later that year.,

      ​@@kmart3697 - French oil company Total bought Esso Standard Oil de PR assets in 2006 after the Acevedo-Vilá administration didn't pay Exxon U$1.05 Mln owed from fuel and services to official cars, including police cars and fire fighter trucks.
      Esso Standard Oil de PR was established in 1895 (PR was still a Spanish territory) in the Old Port of San Juan to sell Kerosene (what the old people here called "Gas" for their oil lamps for individuals and street lighting).
      Total kept that Commonwealth contract to this day (May, 2020)...
      PS: Esso's Island main office was in a 2-story building in the San Patricio Plaza (between Guaynabo and the western border of San Juan) parking lot and was demolished for a modern Total station...

    The HIGH LEVELS OF LEAD is the cause of poor engine performance

      Which is ironic because lead was developed to stop engine knock.
