  • Always thought it was pronounced "Dee-no", not "Dy-no". Oh, well.

  • @MarkusHeracles Me too.

  • As a kid, I had a Sinclair dinosaur pool blowup toy. I loved that thing

  • @andersport

    While driving through Tennessee a few years ago I stayed overnight at a motel which was half a block down from a Pure Station. Sinclair gasoline is still sold in the Rocky Mountain States.

  • I miss the Siclair dinosaur like I miss the Pure Firebird. Sinclair became ARCO in 1971 and Pure became Union 76 in 1970. What a bummer.

  • Sinclair used to have dinosaur exhibits that toured the country.

  • I guess their premium grade had DIME in it

  • @SteveCarras True, but during rock 'n' roll's "Golden Age" he steadfastly refused to sign any rock or R&B acts to the Columbia label. The few who got signed were placed on their subsidiary labels like Okeh and Epic. He did have Bob Dylan in the early '60s, but Dylan was a folkie back then. They didn't have a "real" rock band till they signed Paul Revere & The Raiders in 1963. Columbia changed their views when they started having hit records.

  • When I was a teenager (in the '70s) I finally got the reason why Sinclair used a dinosaur in their logo - it's a reference to the dinosaurs being turned over time to fossil fuel and turning up in our gasolines and motor oils. BTW - I grew up near a Sinclair station in Brockton MA; it was right next door to a Howdy Beefburgers stand on Montello Street and in front of a railroad trestle and the police station.

  • When nickel combines with organic compounds (one that contains carbon), carbonyl is formed. Nickel carbonyl is toxic and carcinogenic, especially to lung tissue. Conditions for its formation exist in motor vehicle exhaust where the gasoline contains nickel additives, and as pollutants from the incomplete burning of coal and petrochemicals. It's also found with cadmium in cigarette smoke and may in fact be partially responsible for cancer associated with smoking.
