And I haven't heard any of them do a radio or TV commercial in years. 
It seems today the only advertising the oil companies do is 
sponsorships, they sponsor a golf tournament but no commercials 
telling you why you should spend your nearly three bucks a gallon at 
their station and not their competition.

It's also interesting that for a number of years any Exxon gas that 
you've bought in New England has actually been from the new Gulf, 
a.k.a. Cumberland Farms.  I don't know how they could get away with 
this, apparently they have an agreement to use the Exxon name and to 
bill thru the Exxon/Mobil credit cards and Speedpass, but it still 
seems from the consumer's point of view to be false advertising.
