== Gulf products == [[File:Gulf Dealer and Waterfront at Roslyn signs, Roslyn.jpg|thumb|Vintage Gulf Oil sign photographed in [[Roslyn, New York]], 2018]] Most filling stations in Europe sell three types of fuel: unleaded, [[Gasoline|LRP]], and [[Diesel fuel|diesel]]. Although these products lack any real brand differentiation, this has not always been the case. Until well into the 1970s, Gulf (in common with other oil companies) sold distinctive brands of petrol/gasoline including subregular Gulftane (briefly a midgrade low lead), Good Gulf regular, Gulf No-Nox premium, Gulf Super Unleaded, and Gulfcrest (Regular Unleaded). Gulfcrest was also a super premium grade in the 1950s and early 1960s. Gulf petrol was sold using the slogans ''"Good Gulf Gasoline,"'' and ''"Gulf β the Gas with Guts."'' Gulf service stations often supplied customers with pens and key rings bearing these slogans. For a few years, beginning in 1966, Gulf stations in the U.S. gave away orange plastic "Extra Kick Horseshoes" to customers who filled their tanks with Gulf's No-Nox premium fuel (the novelty items were commonly mounted on bumpers). GOI still produces and sells a wide range of branded oil based products including lubricants and greases of all kinds.<ref>GOI product and services [http://www.gulfoilltd.com/products_services/index.html product list] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061205201745/http://www.gulfoilltd.com/products_services/index.html |date=December 5, 2006 }}</ref> These include products for a variety of applications ranging from metal working oils to refrigeration oils. Car engine oils include the Gulf Formula, Gulf MAX, and Gulf TEC ranges. Heavy duty diesel engine lubricants include the Gulf Supreme and Gulf Superfleet ranges. In the summer of 2013, Gulf Oil licensed the "Gulf" name for racing fuels in a return to the American racing scene for the 2014 competition season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gulfracingfuels.com|title=Gulf Racing Fuels - High Performance Racing Fuels by Gulf|website=Gulf Racing Fuels}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=March 2017}} The fuels were announced at the Performance Racing Industry Show in [[Indianapolis]], Indiana, in December 2013.
