My former company actually did environmental consulting for Valero Energy for one of their bulk fuel terminals at a certain port. It was not one of their refineries. Needless to say all of the bulk petro that came in was from foreign countries. They had two tank farms each with dispensers for 18 wheelers. Some of them were Valero rigs (not anymore for all the Valero gas stations are no longer here) but most of them were competing gas stations (Citgo, Gate, ect.) Later that division of the compay went under NuStar. I am not sure it they are still a part of Valero and their refineries (probably the only true Valero fuel). From the map of the US that I saw in the offices they are big from Texas up thru the midwest, mostly owning pipeline and a couple of ports on the eastcoast. Just my 3 cents.

I grew up in Hammond, IN, during the 1950s and 1960s, and the big name gas stations during my youth were:
Standard Shell Sinclair Phiilips 66 Texaco Clark CitGo Sunoco Esso (Humble Oil & Refining Company) I might be forgetting a couple. Tom Last edited by YarisOwnersDad; 07-10-2009 at 09:10 PM. |

Another big one, at least in the South, was Pure.
Citgo used to be Cities Service. How can we forget Amoco? |
