Locally, without some investigation, one would often not know what refinery or brand the gasoline one uses is from. Most of our stations have names like "On Cue," or "Cum and Go," or "Oklahoma Prime Grocery." The actual oil company that makes and delivers fuel to the station is not known to the consumer. I have seen delivery trucks at these stations, and the brand on the truck is the same as the name of the store. So ............... .
