We had a Sinclair on Airline Hwy., US 61, when I was a teenager. They vanished from here a long time ago. But Sinclairs were all over Denver and its suburbs, usually the cheapest around, and my cars ran fine on it.
The coolest part of the Sinclair history was the part about the dinosaur logo. Which reminds me: How many logo'd oil companies are left? Exxon's tiger, yes, but Mobil's Pegasus is gone, at least down here. Chevron has, well, chevrons, and Shell the big fanlike shell.
Gulf is gone from here, but they never had a pic of the Gulf of Mexico that I can recall. Phillips 66 had a badge that looked like the Route 66 highway sign, I think. Any others? Conoco's branding triangle?
