Sunoco Succeeds in Its GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Official Attempt For The Most Vehicles Refueled.

Sunoco Succeeds in Its GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Official Attempt For The Most Vehicles Refueled.

148 Vehicles Refueled In One Hour With The Help Of Their New App



On October 27th, 2018, Sunoco succeeded in its attempt to prove that its new app is the fastest way for consumers to fill their vehicle’s tanks and pay for fuel. The team set an Official New GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for most vehicles refueled in one hour - a grand total of 148 vehicles. The record-setting feat took place during a NASCAR-inspired event complete with a NASCAR pit crew fuel man, pace car, spotters, and Lap Counter Board.

“We’re thrilled to have set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title to prove that our new Sunoco app is the fastest way to fuel,” said Sandy Deiters, Senior Marketing Director at Sunoco LP. “The app is free to use and customers can just tap, pump and go – there’s minimal waiting and plenty of additional benefits like digital receipts and location-specific offers. The app makes life easier for the people fueling up their cars, and it also helps our partners like the owner of this station to offer unique specials at their locations too.”

At 12:01pm, a string of vehicles began lining up at 12 designated pumps at Sunoco (134-45 Cross Bay Blvd) in Jamaica, Queens, New York, looking to score a free tank of gas and to be a part of Sunoco history. At 12:15, John Gianninoto, No. 9 Team NASCAR pit crew member, and brand ambassadors (spotters) took their places near each of the 12 pumps and prepared for the 60 second countdown beginning at 12:59pm.



At 1:00pm, the official one-hour countdown clock was initiated and each spotter prompted the Sunoco app for payment. The official pumper, John Gianninoto, raced to beat the clock as each spotter waived a green flag when a vehicle at their designated pump was ready to be filled. Once the tank was filled, the spotters waived a checkered flag, signaling for John to close the pump and cueing for the next vehicle to drive up. In order to qualify as a fill-up, at least half a tank of gas was pumped for each car. At 2:00pm, an air horn signaled the end of the event.
