Amoco Gas
White gas was clear and unleaded hi-test in the old days while other gas had an amber color to it. Amoco advertised it back in the 70's, maybe earlier, as crystal clear clean gas and had a clear glass on the pump so you could see it as you pumped.
Coleman sells their "lantern fuel" gas in the outdoor stores.
We were poor boys back in the 70's and 80's, we fished several nights a week using our Coleman lantern. We only used the Amoco gas because the Coleman was too expensive and the Amoco was about 49 cents a gallon. We found out we had less or more like no trouble with the Amoco. The Coleman fuel gave us problems.
I still have the lantern and haven't used it in 35 years. I checked it out one day and it still had fuel in it and it looked good after 20 years. I pumped it up and it light right away and burned just fine, kind of crazy, contradicts common beliefs about fuel.
