I was in the northwest suburbs of Chicago for a few days at the end of '03 and the few former Amoco stations I saw had been rebranded. I'd heard that they'd retain the Amoco branding, but considering that they moved their US operations from Cleveland to Chicago when they bought Amoco**, I'd have been surprised if they *didn't* rebrand the Amoco stations.

**This would be the second time they moved their US headquarters, having moved from Atlanta to Cleveland when they bought Sohio.
