I'm pretty sure it was availabe in the late 60s, but my memory doesn't
go back any farther than that! I've been searching around trying to
find the history of Coleman fuel, aka "white gas", but no luck yet.

Just read a can of it at a sporting goods shop tonight. The words "white gas" do
not occurr anywhere on the package. It's called "fuel/combustible". Interesting
enough the label says it's intended to be used in lanterns and appliances that
"burn unleaded gasoline."
