Here is an article on the Vitameter, first published in 1950. It also describes 2 similar gadgets, the Hydro Jector and Octagane. Plus a new type carburetor that feeds low octane fuel for cruising and hi octane when you step on the gas.

I believe the Vitameter was available thru the fifties and would be considered a contemporary accessory on any postwar Packard.
