Gulf No-Nox (I remember the ad, John "If this Camaro won't knock on Gulf No-Nox, what makes you think YOUR Camaro will?"), Super Shell were "100 octane" at the pump. Each oil company had their own version of "premium" gas, but all were "leaded" AND 100. We didn't have Sonoco stations in California, but guys were known to drive to Las Vegas and bring back many gallons...

A lot of us back then used Hess. Was the same as Sunoco 260. And cheaper by 2 [email protected] in 1969. LOL.

Yeah, but we did have Chevron 102 in SoCal. I remember it being like 4 cents more per gallon than Shell in the early 60's, which was a horrible increase when Shell premium was 28 cents a gallon.

...and I think that the old 100 octane would test out very close to 96 R+M/2

edit: at least I thought it was 102 and not 101. anyone remember?
