1969 Amoco Gasoline Commercial - "I'm a Believer"

I don't like the fact that the test result showed that the average driver got, 66.6 more miles in a tank full! The Devil's number!

If that gal had the believer part as suntan, I'd be a believer too. Remember when you could tell how your engine operated by the color of your exhaust tip? White, light gray lean and no oil consumption. After a long trip that is as local was just dark colored.

Fun commercial. Nice 68 or 69 Pontiac LeMans taking off.

Thought this was going to be a Monkees reference.

I question on the year of 1969. Didn't low lead or no lead gasoline come out in 1971? The 1971 cars were all made for that fuel. Engines lost compression that year too.

Amoco had a lead-free gasoline as early as the 1950's. Instead of tetraethyl lead, they used aromatics to boost the octane. They called it the "original special motor fuel, and boasted that Amoco/American's lead free was "the only one!" before others got in on the act.

Amoco was a pioneer of lead free gasoline, it was their claim to fame. My father never used it in his cars, it was one brand of gasoline my father steered clear of. It was offered well before emission standard changes in the USA and law requirements in 1971.

Heh, 6.66 bonus miles. Could those miles be given out, perhaps, by SATAN?!
