When I was a lad and FDR had been out of office for two decades, I of the major gasoline companies had an ad campaign which parodied this-- "A chicken in every pot, a tiger in every tank."

I think it was Exxon. Does anyone else remember?

Yes that was Exxon, or rather ESSO as it was called at that time if I recall correctly

You may be misremembering. Esso/Exxon's slogan has always been "Put a Tiger in your Tank," not "a tiger in every tank.."
