Re: Cheap Gas
I bought a new 350 Honda and in the summer of 73 American high test was 31 cents.I was hard pressed to get a dollars worth into the tank.Winter of 73-74 we had the Arab oil embargo,and I worked at that station.Me,my friends and my folks got all the gas they needed.I remember the tiger thing very well,everybody was driving around with those tiger tails hanging off their license plates.The American station I later worked at had a big sign that said,Clean the tiger hairs out of your tank!I can't remember the brand of gas that advertised the extra kick,but they would clap a pair of plastic horseshoes with magnets in them to the back of your car.I think the logo was a mule kind of looking back over his shoulder.After a few days in the sun those plastic horseshoes would crumble into dust in your hand.At one time there were more of those plastic things on the main road through than dead squirrels.
