I noticed you still haven't responded to my comments about ADDITIONAL competition (not only the competition from US companies) coming from foreign companies in the US??

Why are you ignoring the competition coming from CITGO--which happpens to be a wholly-owned subsidary of a VENEZUELAN oil company?

Why are you ignoring the competition coming from BP (British Petroleum--a big competitor or XOM with growing numbers of service stations everywhere),or

Why are you ignoring the NEW COMPETITION on the block (LUKOIL--a Russian company that is growing and expanding like crazy. They are already all over New York and adding stations almost daily--especially on the East Coast)?

Look, I'm not pretending to know much here. I was lucky to get through two econ courses in college.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY EXXON DOESN'T COMPETE FOR MY BUSINESS AGAINST SHELL?

Please, just tell me that. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just want somebody to answer my question.

Why don't those guys in uniforms jump out of the station garage and clean windows, fill tires, and SELL gas anymore? I can remember my parents going to a Marathon over a Shell because Marathon was giving out free glassware with a fillup.

What has happened to all that?

JUST ANSWER ME THAT!
