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!
