What do all you think about the quality of this gas? Just my experience it give me worse mileage than BP fuels which is Amoco Gas I guess. And why do we see tankers filling at gas stations that have different oil company names? The only true tankers I see around any more are Sheetz fuel trucks and that seems to be a decent gasoline.
Exxon Gas?

Red,
For myself I see no problem/issues using Exxon gas. It appears to be cheaper in price compared to Shell, Valero and such.

I don't like it nor Sheetz. I use a lot of Turkey Hill "Top-Tier" and it's the cheapest too.

The Canadian version (Esso), gives me the best gas mileage, with Petro Canada coming in a close second. Shell and Sunoco put me down 50Km per 40 bucks over the Esso fuel.

Most oil companies contract out their delivery to trucking contractors, When I used to order fuel for several Exxon stations on Long Island in the 80's, Exxon was down to 2 marked tankers, mainly to let the drivers "retire out". Most of the fuel was delivered by Island Transport, which is a big tanker truck jobber on LI. The trailers had little flip signs on them saying "Delivering Exxon Products", "Delivering Sunoco Products" etc. The invoices all were the same from Exxon.
I would imagine that Sheetz is paying their trucking contractor for a fleet of dedicated logo trailers for advertising reasons. Around here, due to the traffic, most of the deliveries are in the wee hours of the morning, so paying extra for marked tankers doesn't make sense.

Exxon is getting out of the retail gasoline business.
By the way, Amoco is BP...BP owns Amoco, ARCO, maybe other brand names.
