Title: Farewell to Fina
Post by: US71 on November 09, 2011, 06:22:52 PM
The FINA gas brand is being replaced by ALON (owned by Alon Israel Oil Co. Ltd.)
There used to be a Fina in Pine Bluff, AR at I-530 and AR 365 Spur, but it changed to Valero a few years back.

Now Alon can be your choice. After all, it's the same gas since they've owned the brand for over 10 years.

I wouldn't have bought Fina in the first place if I knew it was owned by a foreign company

I thought they were always foreign.

Evidently they were, and I wish I would have known that- fortunately I don't go into that territory very often
