Article says, "in 1942 ... Because Mobil was the only American petroleum company operating in Australasia at that time, there was a dilemma that was only resolved when the United States Department of War convinced Standard Oil of California and Texaco to set up a joint venture in Australia and New Zealand." But Caltex page http://www.caltex.com/corp/en/History_Origins.asp says that Caltex was operating in Aust & NZ from 1936. Nurg ( talk) 22:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Correct, and Texaco operated in Australia from the early 1900s. The Texaco assets become part of the Caltex joint venture company formed between US companies Texaco and Standard Oil of California (now Chevron) in 1936. http://www.caltex.com.au/AboutUs/Pages/OurHistory.aspx This part of the article has no basis in fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.23.196.21 ( talk) 11:15, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
The article says nothing about Europe, but I saw a Caltex gas station in a Swedish movie from the 1950s.-- Revery ( talk) 11:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Caltex was formed as a joint venture between Texaco and Standard Oil of California (now Chevron) in 1936, and operated in Europe until the parent companies split the European assets of Caltex between them in 1968 and commenced operating in Europe under their own names. This article is only about Caltex Australia, and should be titled as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.23.196.21 ( talk) 11:21, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
