this is great to see. I am a native of Northwest Indiana. The Amoco plant what is about 40 minutes from me. Several people I went to high school with still work there under the BP contract now

same idea with Chevron. they used to be labelled Standard Stations or Chevron Dealers. I think the Standard ones were company-owned, with the Chevron Franchiseed. now they are all branded as Chevron. (but kept a few Standard signs to keep the trademark!)

ToniO98923, my father worked at that Standard Oil/Amoco refinery for 3 decades. Crazy stuff in this game!

ExxonMobil stations were Esso stations previously. The name comes from S.O. which is Standard Oil

Player Raving Lu, that's good to know. I grew up with the Sinclair dinosaur. One year they were giving dinosaur shaped soap as a promotion. It sat on top of my dresser for about 2 years when it crumbled away.😪
