Valero gas is from the refinery of the same name...

Often Wal-Mart has Murphy Gas....or at least in these parts...

Others usually go with a local distributer...including Exxon and Cheveron...
depends upon who the franchise is owned by...Here in Huntsville
about half of the stations get their gas from the same distributer...
He owns the distribution company...and interest in the franchises...and
different members of his family own the rest of the franchise...

Who does Valero, Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Albertson's buy their gas from?  And did someone check to see whose stock Phillip Hollsworth owns?
 
Possibly a good idea, just not well thought out!

      This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola
    executive It came from one of his engineer buddies
    who retired from Halliburton. It's worth your
    consideration.
   
    Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit
    close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might
    go higher!!  Want gasoline prices to come down?  We
    need to take some intelligent, united action.
   
    Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes
    MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain
    day" campaign that was going around last April or May!
    The oil companies just laughed at that because they
    knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by
    refusing to buy gas.  It was more of an inconvenience
    to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever
    thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can
    really work. Please read on and join with us!
   
    By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at
    about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently
    $2.79 for regular unleaded in my town  Now that the
    oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us
    to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at
    $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to
    teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not
    sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each
    day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we
    are going to see the price of gas come down is if we
    hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their
    gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
    How?
   
    Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop
    buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if
    we all act together to force a price war.
   
    Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T
    purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies
    (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.  If they are not
    selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their
    prices. If they reduce their prices, the other
    companies will have to follow suit. But to have an
    impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon
    and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now,
    don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and
    I'll expl! ain how simple it is to reach millions of
    people!!
   
    I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us
    send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and
    those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =
    3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches
    the sixth group of people, we will have reached over
    THREE MILLION consumers.
   
    If those three million get excited and pass this on to
    ten friends each, then 30 million people will have
    been contacted!  If it goes one level further, you
    guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
   
    Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people.
    That's all!
    (If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million
    and all you have to do is send this to 10 people....
    Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician.
    But I am . so trust me on this one.) :-)
   
    How long would all that take? If each of us sends
    this
    e-mail out to ten more people within one day of
    receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be
    contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you
    didn't think you and I had that much potential, did
    you! Acting together we can make a difference.
   
    If this makes sense to you, please pass this message
    on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL  UNTIL
    THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP
    THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK
