Amoco
Correct Answer: Amoco
So why is this answer correct? : Founded as Standard Oil Indiana under John D. Rockefeller’s oil empire, this Chicago-based company became independent in 1911 after the U.S. Supreme Court broke up the Standard Oil conglomerate. In 1961, the company adopted the name American Oil Company, or “Amoco,” for its U.S. operations, and debuted its recognizable red, white, and blue logo. The company officially changed its name to Amoco Corporation in 1985.
