I used to run Sunoco 280 gasoline, (this was the good stuff) before it was blended with the lower octane fuel (at the pump) to get 260, 240, etc.

Course you had to know the gas station owner really well and have access to the pure 280 gasoline (creative plumbing at the station). The owner was a circle track racer.

I never saw the 260 listed in my area below $.22 cents per gallon. You could get the other stuff for $.17 cents. 21 gallons times $.17 = $3.57 for gas per week.

$5.00 would get you a full tank of the good stuff ($.22 times 22 gallons = $4.84)

$5.00 per hour wages were high tech welding type jobs.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
