2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

There is no ethical consumption under crony capitalism. You're gonna have to turn a blind eye at the pump if you continue using a petroleum powered vehicle.

I'm aware of that, that's why I'm asking which one is the LEAST evil relative to its counterparts. I'm trying my best to move on from an ICE vehicle, but until then the least I can do is be picky with what brand of fuel I use and to use it as sparingly as possible (I already only drive 5000 miles a year).

Am I missing something here? The first 4 in your list are petroleum refiners and separately gas stations with the same names. Most gas stations are independently operated businesses under franchise agreements with a particular brand. Yes they are required to use fuel from their own brand. QT is just a convenience store that also sells fuel and isnt in the refining business.

None. They're all evil.

And it's good you're trying. That's all we can really do.

And buying a Tesla supports Elon Musk, so that isn't great either.

Yeah, public transit is the ideal transit anyway.
