[edit] Mobil Travel Guide
It would be useful to add information here on the "Mobil Travel Guide" publications, which used to be companions of the American traveller and included restaurant ratings. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure they're really significant, but then that's because I never found Mobil guides to be helpful; I've always preferred AAA, Frommer's, Rough Guides, and Let's Go. --Coolcaesar 05:22, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
This page is a blatant advertisement for Mobil 1. There are no numbers quoted for gas economy...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.118.14.39 (talk • contribs • WHOIS) July 24, 2006.
I surely would like to see something on the history of the Mobilgas Economy Run. I don't know when it was started, but it ended in the early 60s, I believe. All the manufacturers that wished to could enter their cars, with their own factory drivers. The cars were checked to assure nominal production values and were run from coast to coast, maintaining an average of 50 mph, I believe. It was a real world test.....and the 6 cylinders with manual transmissions and overdrive always seemed to win by a large margin.
Any reference help, here? Thanks207.178.98.116 01:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] So-called "Controversy" - sic
(Moved discussion to Talk:Mobil 1. -- Petri Krohn 08:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC))
[edit] No, this does not belong here
I deleted:
"In the United States it is marketed as a fully synthetic oil, but motoring enthusists have questioned its compositions."
In several countries Mobil 1 is sold as a fully synthetic motor oil. That's because it is a fully synthetic motor oil.
The fact that a few folks with some sort of axe to grind think - contrary to their nation's laws and a decade-old industry practice - that a product containing Group III is not "synthetic" doesn't belong here.
I am going to ask to have this entry frozen until some of us who actually know something about the topic can eliminate all these editorial comments and irrelevant material if this continues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eblem (talk • contribs) 10:49 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nothing gets added without a proper source
If anyone needs to reaquaint themselves with Wikipedia:Citing sources it's there for the looking. A good rule of thumb: if you add a new sentence, have a reference tag at the end. Reference tags should be used, not hyperlinks in the article. Sources and citation are one of the most important rules of Wikipedia; there's a push for quality. If you want to add, cite it and make sure the source is approved at Wikipedia:Citing sources. There is no work-around for this. --DavidShankBone 15:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mobil 1: high quality?
Shiver me timbers!!!!! Reading this:
Mobil 1 is a leading brand of high quality motor oil." Arrrrrrr.... who is to say that Mobil 1 is a "high quality" product? That is a subjective declaration that borders on possible advertising in this Old Coot's opinion. 68.13.191.153 05:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Exxon to Lukoil?
Is there a source for most Exxon stations converting to Lukoil in NJ? In my neck of the woods, not one has changed. In fact, we've lost more Sunoco stations than Exxon stations to Lukoil. If I don't see a source in the next week or two, I'm taking it out. 12.160.179.2 (talk) 19:38, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
