I'm now a Sunoco customer for life. Took these pics on a recent road trip to the midwest. The stations here don't have this.

Yeah, she was thinking "That guy's taking photos of a bad graphic; the gas goes in the front!!"

We have the identical pics at local NOCO stations on the Right Coast.
---Wil Ferch PS- in New york State...Sunoco uses a 10% methanol blend...helps melt our delicate fuel ruber/ plastic components. Beware ! later cars might be OK with this, but not through mid 80's.

That's enough to make me want to take a road trip, (once it warms up a little).

How long before Porsche lawyers sue for copywrite infringement?

A number of the convenience stores around Jefferson City, Missouri use that same screen display.

They use it here on a Hess station pump. I don't know about copywrite infringement...the gas tank is in the rear. Not an exact duplicate.

Same thing here at a smaller independant type station in the Bay Area. I think that this graphic may come with the pump rather than with the gas brand / station.
My wife pointed it out to me, of course I had seen it before and we had a good laugh about filling the engine up with gasoline. The back of the car looks a bit like a camaro, it sure gives the impression as if it has a rake to it! George |

ha! yeah - first time I saw that was filling up at a Sunoco in Watkins Glen, NY while there for a DE this past summer. I figured it was unique little tribute to being in a track town. Nice to see its elsewhere!

I bet you're right George, it comes with the pump. There must be a Porsche guy working there.

I always fill up the SC at a station with that pic. I wonder if anyone notices but me. Several times I almost brought my camera to the gas station to get that picture with my SC in front, but I doubt you'd be able to see the screen.
