My uncle was into camping at the lake, take the tent and boat and all
the other crap, spend a weekend or a week. He would always go buy some
white gas for the lanterns and stove, and maybe the boat too. I
remember the gas station had a separate pump for it, marked "white
gas." I never understood exactly what it was, but it smelled a lot
different from regular gasoline and was pretty much clear.

folks
amoco white gas as sold in SC and georgia in the 60's and 70's was high test
and lead free
i always ran it in coleman stoves without problems
here's what wikipedia says:
American Oil chose to continue marketing its premium-grade "Amoco-Gas" (later Amoco
Super-Premium) as a lead-free gasoline by using aromatics rather than tetraethyllead to increase
octane levels, decades before the environmental movement of the early 1970s led to more stringent
auto-emission controls which ultimately mandated the universal phase out of leaded gasoline. The
"Amoco" lead-free gasoline was sold at American's stations in the eastern and southern
U.S. alongside American Regular gasoline, which was a leaded fuel. Lead-free Amoco was introduced
in the Indiana Standard marketing area in 1970.[6
