You have it backwards about the relationship of Valero and Diamond
> Shamrock. Valero is the parent company; Diamond Shamrock is one of
> several brands they market under.
Thank you for the correction. To make it more confusing, the Valero and Beacon stations here all used to be Ultramar stations, and I know Ultramar at one point *was* an independent Canadian refiner and marketer, but I have no idea of their status *now.* :)
I'm pretty sure the Beacon stations are owned by ... well, I guess it's Valero ... :)
