There has been an additional line of gas stations I’ve noticed recently — Valero. They have 5,800 outlets, yet I’d never heard of them until the past year or two. Valero also has 17 refineries “with a throughput capacity of approximately 3.1 million barrels per day.”
So today’s trivia question is: Where does the name Valero come from? (No fair Googling.)
Hint: The company is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
The answer is in the Handbook of Texas.
I’ve heard that Valero Gasoline is a George W. Bush holding company. Could you give me more information on this please.
