While driving around the east side of Santa Rosa on Montgomery Dr. last Friday we came upon a Flying A gas station. (my wife just mentioned that SHE was the one who spotted it - I trained her well) I didn't realize that they were still in operation. It was good to see !

The business is part of the Royal Petroleum Group

And yes, it is great (IMO) that the "Flying A" name is still around!

I heard that we can put their remains in an old oil can, if the heart attacks take them. I even know somebody who can put the lids on the can. LOL...

Give me a break guys. I'm only the person who was warped enough to type what others were thinking...

Thunder, Was that reply done w/ your KINDLE? LOL

ROTFLMAO!!!

Actually. The kindle has been returned. It took SIX weeks, yes SIX weeks, for S-Girl to get her refund. Amazon has promised me a phone call about the whole situation... And still I wait. Barnes & Noble however, has made a LOT of sales, because of Amazons INCREDIBLY poor customer service...

That raises the question as to who owns Pure and several other supposedly "Dead " oil companies then.......... Ed Shaver

I think you'd be surprised to find that there are operating versions of almost all of the original brands to be found. Whether it's a one-off small local chain or larger, they're out there.
