The oil companies certainly do own the gas stations. Do you think BP, Shell, Exxon, Mobile, Phillips 66,, Marathon and Chevron are named after giant oil companies for no reason?
- GenerWork 3y agoI think that while they can be owned by the oil companies, you can also enter into a licensing contract with said oil company to use their likeness.

- HWR_14 3y agoThat seems like a distinction that doesn't matter to this conversation. The point is that it's done through the oil company. Either way, you expect to fill up at a PG&E station in 10 years, not a Tesla one.
