[Man on screen] Hi there.
[Man 1] a new gasoline for America. T-O-T-A-L. The international gasoline. What Total learned about gasoline in fifty-four countries it now brings to your corner of the world. In England, Total found a way to blend its gasoline to fight moisture and fog. In Switzerland, cold and the rarified atmosphere of high altitude. How to power Grand Prix racers in Italy. To resist sandstorms and dry heat of the Middle East and humidity in the Congo.
[Man 2] In every country a problem – in fifty-four countries the Total solution. Fifty-four countries of the world were the proving ground for the gasoline we formulated for America. Now – Total is here.

[Title on screen] Total The International Gasoline
From the 1960's it would seem since it's in black and white.
This commercial is interesting to me - the company (Total S.A.) doesn't seem to have had a presence in the USA until the 1980's.
