Atlantic Richfield? There's a blast-from-the-past name. Kinda like the days of the old dial-'em-up pumps at the Sunoco station with the 260 petrol. It may have been a placebo, but I swear that my '67 Olds ran better on that stuff. Maybe it was just the driver that did.

ARCO is still a prominent name out here although they changed their status and maybe lowered their profile when they got rid of their former full service stations and turned into more like a convenience store type operation.

I guess when you look at it there are relatively few full service stations from any brand anymore. The ones I went to are certainly gone but I guess there are still some around somewhere. A blast from the past is when some of the old TV shows come on and show something like a Texaco station and several attendants taking care of a car. Most today have no idea such things existed.
