I’m glad that we’ve sorted literally everything wrong with this country and can focus our efforts on resolving this last remaining critical matter.

If you want to support America, buy Valvoline. The fuck has Shell been smoking?

Who really cares that one company wants to “anoint” another company;s product?

Seriously?

Ranks right up there with being the official motor oil of the NCAA.

Oh, FFS, *Royal Dutch Shell*, go do something useful.

Ulterior motive: they’re doing this to bolster the view that Americans are dumb hicks.

Only if we can name Shell “Official Gas of the Pandering Corporate Sycophants”

I think the market has done that, no?

F-Series alone outsold the Camry and Corolla, the two best selling non-pickups, combined. Of the top 30 vehicles in the US market, #1 (F-Series), #2 (Silverado), #3 (Ram), #17 (Sierra, which is a rebadge of #2), and #24 (Tacoma) are pickups. Those vehicles combined... It takes combining #4 through #10 (Camry, Corolla, Civic, CR-V, RAV4, Accord, and Rogue) to beat them.

Obviously. The more people who trade in their cars for a new pickup truck, the more fuel Shell sells. They’re furthering their profit margins here.
