Nobody will get money out of Texaco because that entity no longer exists. They merged with Chevron and are now ChevronTexaco. In my area, all of the Texaco stations have been rebranded as Chevron. However, the gas stations in the western region of the US were taken over by Shell, since Texaco had a refining and marketing JV (Motiva) with Shell before the Chevron merger. I guess they still brand the stations as Texaco there. Which explains why, even though the name of the station in the article is Texaco, the mechanics and the car owners are blaming Shell in the article.
That's a touch pedantic, but thanks for the information. Duly noted. ;O)
