Hmmmmm.... I wonder if the Dallas Cowboys will follow suit and put a clamshell on the side of their helmets.

The way they played Sunday against Houston, it might be a good idea.

I can still remember Bob “Texaco” Hope pitching their Sky Chief gasoline:
“You can trust your car to the man who wears the star –
the big bright Texaco star.”

"Equilon" and "Motiva" represented a huge stealth merger between Shell and Texaco.

Outside of the employees I doubt anyone was ever aware of it. Keep in mind, this happened more or less in parallel to the Clinton anti-trust prosecution of Microsoft.

This also happened about the same time as the mega-mergers of Exxon and Mobil, BP and Amoco, BP-Amoco and Arco, etc.

So while Clinton and Gore were publicly chastising the oil companies, they were turning a blind eye to some of the largest mergers in oil company history.

It has not gotten any better since their departure. Chevron has gobbled up Phillips, and Conoco, in addition to its slice of Texaco.

If you will remember your Econ 101, and what happens as competition is reduced...

[who knows what evil?]

Shell...aren't they the ones greenies hold accountable for hanging eight of their extremist bretheren in Nigeria a number of years ago? If so; fill 'er up...with Shell!

[AdA$tra]

Perhaps this explains why every other commercial in my market is for Shell all of a sudden. Go Chiefs! 1-0

[Centurion2000]

Just a thought but the CEO could just nix this plan and claim 500 million in saved expenses. Did it ever occur to them to just change the logo ?

[gcruse]

Well, hell. They're also going to be taking away Phillips 66. Life is getting too complicated anymore.
