Anyone remember that? Their logo was that Green Dinosaur. Any takers?
Then there was this gas chain that had commercials advertising of putting a "tigger in your tank". Was that Texaco?

Sinclair was pretty big in my home state of Wisconsin back when I was a kid.
Esso was the "tiger in your tank" people, and later Exxon. In fact, now that Exxon and Mobil have merged, the gas card for them still has the tiger on it.
BTW, billions of years ago, when my dad was still working for Mobil, and before mergers took place, there was a joke going around with Mobil employees about their next logo being a Turkey.
"Put a turkey in your tank - he'll gobble up the miles!"
