YES! R MCCALL, I REMEMBER THE SUNOCO PREMEIUM GASOLINE WAY BACK IN 1971, WHEN I USE TO DRIVE MY '67 MUSTANG FASTBACK GTA, WITH THE 390 C.I. ENGINE; CROSS COUNTRY FROM OAKLAND TO CHICAGO. GOD! THOSE WERE THE GREATEST DAYS FOR "HOT-RODDING". I BELIEVE IN THOSE DAYS THE OCTANE RATING FOR THE SUnOilCO "HIGH TEST" WAS 103!!! THE DIFFERENCE WAS LIKE A FLY SWATTER TO A SLEDGE HAMMER TO YOUR BACK!! EVEN BACK THEN IT WAS THE VERY BEST YOU COULD GET ANYWHERE, AT ANY PRICE! I DID'NT KNOW YOU COULD STILL GET IT! FINAL NOTE: I WAS FRESH BACK FROM VIET-NAM, AND HAD A GORGEOUS GIRLFRIEND IN CHICAGO, I LIVED IN OAKLAND, CALIF. MY TIME TO "CHI TOWN" (I LOVED "WLS" ON THE AM RADIO); WAS EXACTLY 24 HOURS NON-STOP, AND THAT WAS WITH A 2 HOUR STOP FOR SLEEP. AND THEN I STOPPED ONLY FOR GAS, CHECK OIL, AND TAKE A RELIEF! AT SOME,(IS IT??) 2200 MILES, THAT IS AVERAGING 100 MPH FOR 1 DAY. FOR EVERY MINUTE I SPENT DEAD STOPPED, I HAD TO SPEND 10 MINUTES AT SAY 140-150 MPH! IT WAS KIND OF A "COPS BE DAMNED SORT OF THING", IT'S ONLY A TICKET, AND I CERTAINLY RECEIVED MY SHARE WAY BACK IN THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS! IT WAS "RACING YOURSELF". NOW DAYS THEY WOULD TAKE YOU STRAIGHT TO JAIL!! THATS THE TRUTH AS I REMEMBER IT! "BELIEVE IT OR DON'T" YOURS TRUELY, MARLIN.
