Fire Chief was the regular grade sold by Texaco. Their premium was
Sky Chief.

In the 1950s, Sunoco sold only one grade of gasoline, which was
supposed to be a "near premium". Its gimmick was that it was dyed
blue, whereas other gasolines were yellow to red. In the 1960s, its
super-premium was Sunoco 260 from the "custom blend" pump.
