Sunoco Stickers?

10/05/2006 10:52 AM

I've seen a lot of Sunoco stickers on all types of cars lately. They are about 6" square. Does anybody know what this is about? In must be some kind of guerrilla marketing... I don't know anyone besides serious motorheads that would advertise their brand of gasoline on their cars.

I wondered about the same thing. Seems to be a free gasoline give-away if you are spotted by one of their spotters. Found this article on the web:

Hmmm, good to know. I just thought it was a Nascar thing.

They have them at the gas station near my house. They are magnets though, not stickers. Also anyone who still has one on their car probably doesn't know the promotion ended a while ago.

I think Sunoco is test marketing a high ethanol consumer fuel blend in some markets - at lest that's what my O&G buddies are telling me. Supposedly the fuel mix gives an extra kick in the ass to even the most pedestrian of bimbo boxes, and is the topic of arguement in NASCAR circles

Sunoco is the official gasoline of NASCAR and they simply advertise this. They are stickers and not magnets!

The promotion did end, but that didn't stop my neighbor from putting about a hundred of those things all over his jalopi.

I think you could have won free gas for a year.
