What's Your Poison?

In studying CEOs during graduate school, I learned a bit about Lee Raymond of Exxon. What I learned was so appalling that I immediately stopped buying gasoline from ExxonMobile.

Since then I've been filling up at BP. Yes, if I could live without gasoline I would be a better person. No, BP isn't perfect, but in comparison to Exxon, it seemed to be a better choice.

An article titled "Pick Your Poison" in Sierra magazine this month rates the gasoline companies from the perspective of environmental responsibility. I was pleased to discover that BP is still a better choice than Exxon. But maybe you're a dedicated Shell customer?

Read the article to find out how your brand rates. And I invite you to share which brand you buy, and why.

I pick Shell b/c I get 5% back. I also hear it's best for your car, but mostly just the 5% back.
 
Chris, I used to buy the Exxon/Mobile at UDF because I had a Upromise account that paid me back 1 penny per gallon, so I know where you're coming from!

Thanks for leaving a comment!
 
Speedway's gas is ? I do either gas at Kroger or Speedway because they are convenient. There's a BP across the street from the Speedway that I used to go to... I have no idea why I stopped, it is easier to get into.
