Excuse Me, but someone seems to have stolen my Mobil station ...

Has this happened to you to?

You get a good 24-hr gas station and convenience store.

It has good convenience product selection, state minimum cigarette pricing, and best of all, SpeedPass.

I dig speedpass ...

So I go to go to my on the way home from work Mobil Station with no cash one night, and DAMN!! It's a commie plot!

There's some bunch of damn Russians where my nice college kid used to be.

Where the heck did Lukoil come from (other than Russia, I know that part) and more importantly, where is there a Mobil station?

Near as I can tell ExxonMobil doesn't know that anyone stole their stores out from under them ... they still show the franchises that have switched over on their locator map.

I think there's one about 10 miles east of me on the Woodman Valley Rd Exit off I-25. Its a bit out of your way, but hey!

Whazza "speed pass"? All the meth you can stuff down your back seats? A "Get out of Jail Free" card you can show officer when he clocks you doing 97mph in a school zone?

There's a Mobile station right off the freeway at the Loop 101 and 67th avenue. For you, it's pbly a 3 grand mile trip. Bring a gas can.

From what I recall, ExxonMobil is getting rid of a bunch of Mobil stations out East as part of the deal to please antitrust folks when Exxon and Mobil merged.

Oh, I wondered what the deal with the Lukoil stations on City Ave. was. I had never put the pieces together that they were all former Mobils.
