Esso is an actual chain of gas stations. It's the international name for what's called Exxon over here in the States. So basically, this article might as well be titled "Chevron garage" or "BP filling station". 24.98.210.141 14:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

The name Esso, incidentally, comes from the letters 'S O', for 'Standard Oil', and was used at one time 'here in the States' as well, before it was hardened and futurized into the Martian-king-name Exxon. You will note that 'Sohio' and 'Socony' also stem from the Standard Oil breakup; 'Standard Oil of Ohio' and 'Standard Oil Company of New Jersey'. Socony IIRC was later Mobil, now merged with Exxon. All we need to do now is merge Exxonmobil with BP to recreate the previously broken-up Standard Oil monopoly. :-/ Your uselesstriviapower has now been increased by 22 microwatts.
