Racing fuel prices? - Page 2

I first met Steve Burns in 1971 or 1972, he was in college here in San Antonio and had a old Dodge Dart(?) with a slant 6 that he “bracket raced” and that was his test vehicle. We had a mutual friend Jack Crider , who ran the “machine shop “ for Jacobs Distributing on South Flores.

He told us he had worked with a chemist who developed a “recipe” to boost octane and performance without any detection. And the rest is history....

Their first plant was just south of San Antonio off hwy 181, had a pipeline and smaller storage from previous oil company, was always told that their base was from Texaco.
Later moved out to Elmendorf Tx and put in his big plant.

Steve has done well and is truly a great success story and we owe him a tip of the hat.

Was just wondering about fuel pricing during the huge drop in prices at the “pump”.
