Shell Oil Company is the United States-based subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, a transnational corporation "oil major" of Anglo-Dutch origins, which is amongst the largest oil companies in the world.

The Gilmore Oil Company was an independent oil company in California which was founded by Arthur Fremont Gilmore after he struck oil on his dairy farm in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles in 1903. His son, Earl Bell Gilmore, took over the family business and expanded its distribution network which, at its peak, operated over three thousand gas stations on the West Coast. He promoted the company in a flamboyant style with much advertising, branding, and sponsorship. Gilmore Blu-Green Gasoline was one of Gilmore's primary fuel products, marketing as 'premium gasoline at a standard price.'

Based in the town of Norphlet in Union County, Arkansas, Macmillan Oil Company began producing their Ring Free line of motor oils in 1923. The company was highly successful in promoting their products through sponsorships of motorsports ranging from flat track motorcycle racing and powerboats, to air racing and grand prix events, leveraging them to make their 'race proven' claims. Ring Free products continued to be popular throughout the '60s and '70s, but in as more high-tech formulas from new companies arrived in the '80s, Macmillan Oil Company's fortunes began to wane, and by the end of the decade, they had ceased operations.

Bardahl Oil Company was founded in 1939 by Ole Bardahl (January 28, 1902 – August 11, 1989), a Norwegian immigrant to the United States.

“Put a tiger in your tank” was a slogan created in 1959 by Emery Smith, a young Chicago copywriter who had been given the task to produce a newspaper ad to boost sales of Esso Extra gasoline. The tiger wasn’t Smith’s invention, as he first appeared as a mascot for Esso in Norway at the turn of the century. The end of WWII and the resumption of petrol advertising is when the tiger made his US debut. The message was that Esso fuel was so powerful that it was the equivalent of having a roaring beast powering engines. From glass globe pump heads and gas cap tiger tails, to stuffed animals and bumper stickers, the campaign was a hit, both in the U.S. and abroad.
