Maybe in some circles, but Amoco unleaded gasoline has been called "white gas"
in the South (at least) since I was born (also at least). It's called that
because it's clear.

I won't dispute that, but still doesn't make it so. I can call a Ford a
Chevy also, but it doesn't make it so.

Your opinion, but mine is that better than half a century of common usage *does*
make it so. White gas is unleaded car gas.

Its a regional thing.

I've never heard anyone refer to any kind of car gasoline as white gas in the
southwest; white gas goes in camp stoves (or used to before propane took
over).

Jim,

Same terminology where I grew up in Michigan. White gas = Coleman.

Likewise in the northeast. We call gasoline gas, we call kerosene
kerosene, we call diesel diesel and we call white gas white gas. It
really is pretty straightforward. :-)

white gas to me has always been associated with my grandpa's boat.
Coleman stoves burn Coleman fuel.

Of use in the south with respect only to Amoco gas. OK, I guess that
should be sufficient for the rest of the country and world to accept an
incorrect term...

Grew up in the south. Never heard of that one before. White gas is for camp
stoves.

Don't they call Bass "Trout" in some places in the South, too?
