When I got my first car [early 1970's - 1971] There was this gas station chain called Sinclair.

Anyone remember that? Their logo was that Green Dinosaur. Any takers?

Then there was this gas chain that had commercials advertising of putting a "tigger in your tank". Was that Texaco?

We still have Sinclair stations all over Utah. I guess that's part of being way behind the times.:rotfl:

"Put A Tiger In Your Tank" was the ad slogan from ESSO. It played a funny part in the old movie Pretty Maids All In a Row, starring Rock Hudson, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn, Telly Savalas, Roddy Mcdowell and James Doohan.

I remember the Sinclair stations :)

When I was a wee lad I remember seeing a Signal Gas station.

Put a tiger in your tank was the advertisement for ESSO gas (now Exxon/Mobile)

Sheesh, I remember operating these things, too (my dad used to work at a Mobil bulk plant but had two of these types of pumps there). 32¢ / gallon. Hopefully it won't make it to $5 / gallon this month.

Sinclair was pretty big in my home state of Wisconsin back when I was a kid.

Esso was the "tiger in your tank" people, and later Exxon. In fact, now that Exxon and Mobil have merged, the gas card for them still has the tiger on it.

BTW, billions of years ago, when my dad was still working for Mobil, and before mergers took place, there was a joke going around with Mobil employees about their next logo being a Turkey.

"Put a turkey in your tank - he'll gobble up the miles!"

The good old days were when I used to play Falcon1 and Gunship on my old Amiga computer, many, many years ago ... ah the good old days :arrgh!: .
