'Regular' is 200 octane...glorious indeed!

That is confusing! I'm not sure what the actual octane is that Sonoco called 200 or 260. I am old enough to remember buying leaded gasoline at the pump. However that particular pump was before I could remember. Usually regular leaded gasoline was 89 octane, as opposed to regular unleaded which was 87 octane. That is if I remember correctly.

Looks & sounds like a Jay Ward production.
Anyone...?

[@BionicDisco]

It does seem Jay Ward-ish. Could be.

"Action to be used - not abused"?? Well, THAT doesn't sound like much fun!

They wanted you to drive carefully and not speed.
