10. But you often don't know that ...

You're talking about the stations, yes?

You don't know where the gas in the ground came from. Further, you don't know where all the oil came from that went to the refinery that sold to the distributor that put that gas in the ground.

You can avoid the stations branded with a certain oil logo, but you're not hurting the company itself. Most likely you're just taking business away from an individual who relies on the inside sales of the station to make a living.

You can avoid the credit cards, however. That's a big part of oil company consumer business.
