Sinclair OilSinclair Oil is an American petroleum company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded in 1916 by Harry F. Sinclair, the company operates 2,600 gas stations in 22 states in the western U.S. and the Midwest. The company also operates three refineries, two in Wyoming, one in Casper and the other in Rawlins and one in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Other operations include 1,000 miles of pipeline. Its logo includes a large green dinosaur. The company has long history being a fixture on American roads and briefly in other countries with its green dinosaur logo. Sinclair was acquired by Atlantic Richfield in 1969. As the company was merged into ARCO, the famous Sinclair dinosaur went away, but a part was sold intact to Earl Holding in 1976 and continued on independently of ARCO in Western USA. Sinclair patented the gasoline additive SG-2000. The company also owns the "Little America Hotels & Resorts" group, which owns and operates Sun Valley, Idaho among other properties.
