This one's a blast from my past.

My dad started work for Humble oil, who was bought by Exxon, along with my dad! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Exxon phased out the ESSO brand at about the time they bought Humble but I definitely remember "tiger in your tank".

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.
