At one time Texaco was the oil company, able to lay claim to being both the biggest and richest natural resources company on the world. A merger in 2001 with Chevron kept the brand alive as ChevronTexaco until 2005 when Texaco was dropped from the name. Likewise, almost all Texaco gas stations have been converted to Chevrons, meaning the iconic ‘star T’ logo that adorned race cars and even soccer tournaments is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
