Anyone remember Sunoco 260?

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcQX3QibtMQ"]1970s Sunoco Dry Gasoline Commercial with 260 octane! - YouTube[/ame]

I remember back in the day when you would pull into a Sunoco station and you would dial-in the octane level that you wanted. Actually you would sit in your car and wait for the attendant to come to your window and ask you what you wanted. While he was pumping your gas he would also wash your windshield and check your oil. I think 260 amounted to about 108 octane.
Those were the days!
