I wonder if "White Gas" is still sold. As a kid I can remember my
father buying it at gas stations from a separate fuel pump.

If my memory is correct, the only difference with "white gas" was that
it was unleaded, and therefore suitable for cooking with a Coleman
camping stove and the like. These days all gasoline, except possibly
aviation fuel, is unleaded.

These were very popular back in the 50s but I haven't seen one in
years.

Reminds me of the old Red Skelton joke.

Guy jumps out of a plane and his chute doesn't open and as he is
falling he sees a guy coming up at him. He hollers down
"do you know anything about parachutes"?
The guy answers as he passes by
"No, do you know anything about Coleman stoves"?
