Are there still Gulf station around?

Not to my knowledge.

Chevron bought out Gulf in the early '60's.

Maybe Chevron did, but around here (NJ) they still are around. And charge
receipts from gas stations run by Cumberland Farms in Mass get recorded as
Gulf, I believe (too lazy to check right now).



I recall that happening to the stations that got left out of the deal.
I suppose that the guys that operated or owned those particular stations
did not want to close shop. IIRC they were/are not actual Gulf stations
as we previously knew them.
