During the 1930s, Europa was one of the brand names under which imported petrol was sold to New Zealand motorists. This radio jingle was used to advertise the fuel to motorists.

Clean burning your Europa! Product of the only New Zealand oil company.
[Singing]
Clean burning Europa, petrol with pep.
Keeps your engines sweeter,
make your engines step.
All along the way,
why motorists say,
it's clean-burning Europa for me!
[end singing]Because Europa is 100 percent New Zealand owned and operated, because it is the only New Zealand oil company, every New Zealander benefits from the contribution Europa makes to the economy of New Zealand. You personally benefit too, because clean burning Europa reduces running expenses, steps up engine efficiency and gives you more trouble-free miles to every gallon.
[Singing]
All along the way,
why motorists say,
it's clean-burning Europa, for me!
