Gas was called Ethel because of the tetraethellead that they added to it. Gulf also had a subregular that they called gulftane.

It was produced by the Ethyl Corporation and is still used today to raise the octane rating in gasoline so it has less of a tendency to detonate in higher compression and old nasty engines with deposits in the combustion chambers.

Gulftane -- only slightly better than "drip" -- the effluent from gas wells which would burn (almost).  A buddy and I had a Model A Ford that would run on drip, and preferred Gulftane over real gasoline -- until we tore it down, shaved the head, made a few other mods, and improved its performance immensely.  When the rest of the autos in our little town were disabled with unplowed snow, the "A" was still operable because of its road clearance.  It had a gas heater, ala Coleman stove style, so it was perfect for Drive-In movies in the winter.  The heater was quite effective, especially when the car was not moving, and we didn't have to run the engine to get heat.  Good times...
