A guitar playing friend and bandmate of mine lived in the Bay area as a kid in the sixties during the hippie days. These street kids, according to my friend, called them selves the STP kids. Maybe it was just the sticker or maybe the letters stood for something privy to these kids. The sweet continuation of this knit of street kids was that many years later my friend reconnected with a girl who was also one of the STP kids. They got married and are living and gigging happily up in Northern California. You go Morgan Morgan!❤

Super Tested Petroleum. What I always knew as a kid in the 1960’s. It was always a contest with the boys in my classroom. To see who could collect the most STP stickers from the gas stations. Once I really scored. The STP route salesman stopped at the gas station across from my school. I managed to zip over there on my bike. I caught him by the office door. I politely asked if he had a couple of stickers for my collection. He went to his car and broke out a brand new, still in the wrapper pack of 10 STP stickers! I loved the smell of that brand new vinyl.

On photos from the '70ies quite a few guitars had STP stickers. For example. Looks real good on large bodied guitars like the Explorer etc.

According to Andy Granatelli's autobiography they were running Chrysler 300 Hemi's on Daytona beach trying to set land speed records. The engines were coming apart because they couldn't gear them any higher and were seeing a lot of tire slippage on the sand. They either found the formulation for STP or developed it...but they used it to fortify the oil which allowed the engines to stay together better.

That's what we used when the engine started blowing blue smoke out the tailpipe, which meant it was going to need a ring job/ overhaul. It's good stuff, I used to use it as a engine assembly Lube, which works great on the initial startup and break-in
