I remember gas wars...S&H Green Stamps...glassware...dinnerware...gas attendents who checked the oil, coolant, tire pressure and swept out the floorboards. And No-Nox gasoline which added lead to stop engine pinging and run-on engines after the ignition was turned off. Adding lead added to the price...then they switched back to unleaded and it...raised the price?

***S&H Green Stamps...glassware...dinnerware***

Back in 1970, a local station offered a set of heavy duty drinking glasses with fill ups. I took the company trucks there and filled up. Got several sets before the company said “No More!”

I’ve still got those sets. Didn’t cost me a dime. ;-D
