A hard lux story

DURING World War II my late father used to put an additive in the tank of his old Citroen. I believe it was like Lux soap flakes used for washing. He would mix half petrol with half kerosene and then add the Lux flakes. The car ran well on it. Could you tell me more about it?

I'M NOT familiar with this practice, but there were lots of things done during the war to keep cars going when petrol was scarce. If readers know of the practice, they could send us a letter or an email.
