S2000 said in this thread:

"Amoco gets foreign gas, but Bp/phillips does not? Uh, dude, they're part of the same company, and get their gas from the same places."

Now, I'm not going to argue about the post that I made. I just hadn't seen it before and thought it was interesting.

However, S2000 has a point and is also wrong. If this is old info, then maybe the data is not 100% accurate. BP and Amoco have merged, so they are one company now. With that said, S2000's statement makes sense, since both companies were in different categories. However, BP and Phillips are two different companies. Conoco merged with Phillips last year to form ConocoPhillips.

So, you have BPAmoco and ConcocoPhillips - Two separate companies. Conoco and Phillips were both in the category that doesn't import oil, but like I said, I'm not going to argue that.

Another thing that wouldn't make sense about the whole deal is this: ConocoPhillips runs about 1900 ExxonMobil stations in the U.S. It's kind of an oxy moron. It's like they're saying "Our company doesn't import oil and gas, but we own gas stations of companies that do".

Not trying to spur any arguments. Just wanted to clear the confusion. I guess I should have paid a little more attention to what it was all saying because whoever wrote that obviously made some errors and it's outdated.

Question: Does it really matter to you that much that you had to make another post just to clarify this?

If you notice the amaco's that were converted to BP still Use Amaco Fuels..... So even though they did merge.. BP Uses its own fuel and the former amaco's use they're own.

Well, the statement that he made was incorrect. He locked the previous thread, so I couldn't exactly reply in that one. Also, anyone who reads that thread will think that BP and Phillips are the same company. Then you have some dipshit arguing with you trying to tell you that they're the same because S2000 said so.

It's not any different than any other thread. Let's say you know alot about turbos for example. You make a post, give some information. A mod comes alongs, says that's wrong, and locks the thread. Now, are you going to just sit there, when you know your information is correct, letting everyone believe that whatever the mod said is true.

I could care less whether I'm right or wrong. It's the f*****g internet. I was just trying to keep you guys informed.

Basically, by me not responding to his statement and correcting it, you're saying I should just believe everything someone says because if they said it, well then it must be true.

You guys need to learn how to read. I know that you already stated that BP and Amoco were the same, but that wasn't the point of my post. S2000 said that BP and Phillips were the same company, which they are not. He was trying to make a point by saying the BP and Phillips were part of the same company, which is wrong. I was simply restating that BP and Amoco were the same and stating (nobody else had said this) that Conoco and Phillips were the same. Hence, the title of this thread "BP and Phillips are not the same".

What's funny is how you guys are acting like these threads are worthless, yet you're taking the time to read and respond to them.

Actually I knew BP and amaco were the same, I had just read the original thread and took from what the original poster had said... which was that BP and Phillips were the same.
