Phillips History



In 1928 and for a few years following, Phillips aviation gasoline was trademarked as “Phillips 77,” the name reflecting a technical measure of fuel quality based on the fuel’s specific gravity. Although this fuel was slightly more potent than the company’s Phillips 66 gasoline for automobiles, the “77” was later applied to the company’s premium-grade automobile fuel as well. The common use of “octane number” would not occur until later in the 1930’s.
