A real nice little 1970 style melody-line, here .. an all-round memorable ad, from good times long gone & long past ...

I wonder how often those filters were changed spoke to the machanics in the day and they never knew of any that were changed.

Oh the memories. I would have been about 4 (in the days when staff filled your tank and gave sarsaparilla iceblocks or sherbies to any kids in the car). We had the flexi picture disc with this song paired up with "Amoco Nice Clean Petrol". My brother and I used to think we were hysterical playing it at 76rpm (instead of the intended 45). We nearly wet our scooped sided shorts!

This would be the cinema cut - TV version would be in black and white, and no longer than 60 seconds.

A great ad...
