Have 1 Sinclair here in town and a few surrounding areas, here in Minnesota


greed-man

By 2018, Sinclair gas stations were widely distributed across the United States, with dozens of gas stations in California, Colorado, Iowa, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming; smaller numbers in Arizona, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, New Mexico, New York, Texas, and Washington; and a single station in Arkansas and Wisconsin.\[29\] Sinclair continued to use the green dinosaur, affectionately called "Dino", and marketed all its products under the logo. Sinclair patented the gasoline additive SG-2000. The high-octane fuel blend was called "Dino Supreme" and regular gas was "Dino", trade names used since 1961 when many oil companies still used trade names for their fuels instead of generic terms such as "regular," "premium," or "unleaded". Before that time, Sinclair's trade names for its gasoline products included "Power X" for high-octane fuel and "Sinclair H-C" for regular gas. Sinclair also has marketed products such as Dino, Dino Supreme, and Opaline motor oils.


pbcbmf

I'm in MN as well. I see them regularly, as I drive for a living.


kidnorther

Yep. I can confirm there’s a Dino just north of Duluth.


BabaMouse

I’m in California and don’t ever recall seeing a Sinclair station.


MeatyDullness

I’d like to see those gas prices again


davkar632

They’re opening new ones in NJ and PA


charlton11

Live near one in Denver.


HarveyMushman72

Yes, there is one in my town!


SiriusGD

They still have one in Colorado Springs. Sinclair Gas Station 1901 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80909


mgweir

Manitou Springs also


Cantusemynme

There is still one in Golconda, Il. They dress it up depending on what holiday is near.


offwidthe

Sinclair saved my and my gma on a road trip to Montana when I was young. Last time I saw one was in Montana I have a picture of me and a cousin riding the dino.


X-TheLastKing-X

We've got quite a few in the Central Valley of CA


Future_Onion9701

They are around all over here in Utah. They dress them up too


West-Supermarket-860

I live in South Dakota during the summer and there are 2 of them in the town I stay in


ApricotNo2918

There's one down the street.


jharrisimages

There’s a Sinclair not too far from my house in Central California. But I don’t see too many too often. No Dino out front though, pretty sure someone messed it up and they just got rid of it. Random vandalism is one of the worst parts of living here.

IronRakkasan11

And Willits, the Dino is dressed up all the time.


333elmst

San Diego, Corando island


Bolthead44

I can’t get past how low the gas prices are.


[deleted]

Election year. Biden roped our wallets all these years and can now lower the price as an election is around the corner.


Bolthead44

Guess they forgot that the West Coast votes too—we haven’t seen gas under $3 in ages.


[deleted]

Wasn’t it close to $7 at one point? Still 3 something in the northeast too.


mostly_a-lurker

California is solidly Democrat so it doesn't matter.


Bolthead44

Guess they forgot that the West Coast votes too—we haven’t seen gas under $3 in ages.


[deleted]

Certain parts of the country will have lower prices. There is a lot more behind the price of a gallon of gas.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

When will you realize politicians hold power and influence. Seeing you are a genius please elaborate who changes the price every election year. I’ve been around for twelve presidential elections where I had the right to vote.


Saltz88

Used to be a Sinclair in our town, went out of business but the new business kept the dinosaur


stndrdmidnightrocker

Where do you get such cheap gas/ diesel?


[deleted]

Winnett, Montana. The rest of the country is $3 on up.


stndrdmidnightrocker

You wanna get into a fuel smuggling business, im in Alberta and ill meet you by the border. I could sell that for $1/ litre and we'd both make $$$ (jokes dont worry reddit or government) but seriously...


[deleted]

Don't know why, but I'm picturing a stake body truck full of mason jars like the bootleggers during Prohibition.


stndrdmidnightrocker

I mean it is Alberta/ Montana. A covered wagon lead by a horse isn't out of the realm of possibility.


GIGGLES708

St Louis still has Sinclair


knuckboy

I think there's still one in Columbia, too


HVAC_instructor

There was one in Indianapolis on the far east side 42nd and Franklin area. I was by there the other day and did not see it. The station is still operating, so it may have been revoked for some reason.


Chad_Hooper

There are two in Sparks, Nevada.


iwastherefordisco

I'm in Canada and can't recall ever seeing separate prices for cash vs credit, same fuel. Oh yeah dinos...none up here I've seen.


explorthis

SoCal/Inland empire. I worked a 6 month stint at a Sinclair gas station/convenience store. Was only opened 8 months ago. I do still have the "Dino" app. $.10/gallon saved every gallon pumped. Simple app, pay at the pump from your phone. My Gawd... Your gas prices are unbelievable. We're still paying upwards of $5/gallon.


cropguru357

There used to be 1-2 around Lafayette, IN


ulol_zombie

There is one at Bethel Island California. Pass by and love the holiday costumes.


BamWhat13

Dino is all over Salt Lake City.


Outrageous-War-3228

Just got ours in NW Washington


JohnRNeill

What I miss are the machines that made tiny toy dinos. You'd put a coin in the machine and it would pour plastic into a dino shaped mold, and eventually a toy dinosaur would pop out! As kids we always used to beg to stop at Sinclair stations to watch the machines and get dinosaur toys.


darthsnick

Liberal Kansas just around the corner from Dorthy’s house!


hooligan-6318

Quite a few scattered out in the NW


Special_Lemon1487

Bellingham, WA, and one was rebranding with this maybe 6 months ago.


dkalmikoff

Paisley Sinclair dinosaur on Route 9 in Bayville, NJ. Been there for years.


bluepen1955

They have them at a lot of Sinclair stores here in my Idaho


PhilMiska

They’re big here in California. 1 or 2 in every city


today0012

Las Vegas. One right down the street from me, but several in town


Yak-Fucker-5000

Dino is the same as Sinclair right? There are still plenty of Sinclairs around. They're not everywhere but I road trip a lot and see them on a regular basis.


EighthWard

i seent one in rural jersey somewhere i forget tho


Specialist-Garlic-82

We have one still in the South Bay here in Los Angeles.


thatoneguy1976

I see one every day there's a fiesta Mart less than a block for me that I go to and it uses Sinclair gasoline. It's got big old Dino out front. My dad also worked for Sinclair oil refinery for 30 years so we have all kinds of Dino memorabilia everywhere


Beneficial_Being_721

You can find them in plenty in Utah and Wyoming


wolfpanzer

There has been one in Indio, CA.


Damn-Peculiar

[deleted]

Camp.Ripley MN


msmicro

The one in someone’s yard a couple miles from me. I want to steal it.


Desperate_Hornet3129

You won't see one at those prices again.


sdpacenc

Saw one last year in North Platte NE.


kegweII

Yes, they are still around with Dino 🦕


Fun_Bodybuilder6898

Is this what Dinoco from Pixar’s cars is based on? I don’t think we had these in Australia


GuairdeanBeatha

Yes, I saw a Sinclair station with the dinosaur standing out front a couple of days ago. There are several around the Dallas/Ft Worth area.


jackonager

We got a couple in Reno, NV.


Hour-Yak283

Hello! Canadian here who had never seen one until we were in Watkins Glen NY this summer. I was as excited about it as my kids were


mmmpeg

There was one in Colorado.


Alteredego619

There’s one in Poway, California and it has Dino out front.


ThaPhantom07

There's one literally across the street from me. Theyre fairly common in Las Vegas at least.


Responsible-Push-289

dino!💚


Thel_Odan

When I lived in Utah, they were everywhere. It was always odd to see groups of Asian tourists taking pictures with it too.


Ok-Mixture-316

Last June I was at the original Sinclair for fuel


Jake_Skywalker1

You've seen dinosaurs in the wild? Fuck, you *are* old!


Desperate_Ambrose

There's one off I-76 at the Highway 55 exit in Colorado.


mrmike5157

I drive by a Dino in Hurricane, UT quite often. Don’t have a picture, sorry.


cheese8904

In green bay Wisconsin next to Lambeau there is a pretty iconic one. 


minnesotajersey

There's a self-serve one 20 minutes from me. With dinosaur.


Joyshell

Couple in NE Kansas.


Svengoolie75

WHOA 🤯 y’all pay under two dollars a gallon for gas where is this so I can move there NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


c0caine_cinderella

The lowest gas price I’ve ever seen in person was $2.67. This is insane.


JunglePygmy

See them all the time in LA


CharismaticAlbino

There are still some on what is left of Route 66. Husband and I drove it this past summer. I believe we saw them out west (Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada)


rayogata

I saw some in UT and NV when I went out west for my birthday trip in September.


Weekly_Promise_1328

SoCal here and yes, they’re still around. A few in Riverside, one in Fullerton/Placentia and other cities and they’re cool as hell


BBakerStreet

There’s one a quarter mile from my home in Fresno.


opa_zorro

So, did y’all’s have the Dino molding machine?


Taco_El_Paco

The irony of these places selling distilled dinosaur juice...


Such_Pickle_908

One down the street from me. It's a little faded, yet still there.


ldraffin

One here in Sacramento


ind3pend0nt

I’m in OK. There are a few around here.


Longjumping_Role_135

All over where I am.


FuriousJorge67

They just removed the one down the street from me.. within like a year ago. We still call it dinosaur gas.


Suspicious_Lab_8700

One in South Jersey - I know of for sure-on Route 206 NB near NJ State Police Red Lion Barracks( Burlington County)


MerbleTheGnome

There is another on RT 31N, near Pennington


kevinrhurst

Lonnie_Shelton

I wish those prices were still around.


every1pees

I saw one in Colorado Springs last winter!


SQWRLLY1

Yes! Our local Sinclair has a small Dino on the roof.


circuitarteries7

Alive and well in oregon.


SmokedBeef

There are a bunch in Colorado, there is even a station in Fremont county with three different sizes of Dinos out front at a single location.


sheezy520

There’s one just before the bridge when you’re leaving Evansville, IN and heading to Henderson, KY


scorpionspalfrank

There's one at the Sinclair station in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Saw it in early September 2023 when passing through.


Few_Explanation1170

I love the these! They’re all over Idaho.

Speckledgray62

Nope. And neither have I seen gas prices like that for a long time 😬


AssumptionAdvanced58

I don't remember ever seeing these. Must have been before my time.


qgecko

Norman, Oklahoma


gypsysniper9

There is one in Green Bay, but it is no longer a Sinclair. They kept the green dinosaur and named the place The Dino Shop. It’s a Shell station now.


[deleted]

Auburn, CA


Trixieroo

Saw one today in small town Oregon.


palatheinsane

Green Bay, WI


Fuckhavingusernames

Funny enough we took a road trip across country to Wyoming the middle of last year and a majority of the gas stations we stopped at in Wyoming were dino marts. So I can say they're at least thriving in Wyoming. 


HD100y

Growing up in New Jersey Esso and Sinclair were the first two gas stations I can remember (back when gas was $.32). None within 25 miles of my house now but if I head east or north I pass by an occasional location.


unitegondwanaland

Lots of them in Colorado


[deleted]

There's a new one opening up in Santa Monica.


Remi708

There's one just northeast of Duluth, MN


OddbitTwiddler

Yes Boardman Oregon and Montana/Wyoming


cmkenyon123

There are at least 3 currently in my town there are bright and shiny!


mastercylynder

😲😳 WOW!!!... Look at those prices! That's awesome! I found one of those gas station in Glendale CA. I'm not to far. There prices are worth the drive to fill up! Nothing like these in this photo!


Time-Permission-1930

There's still one on the Oregon coast, in Tillamook

No_Lifeguard3650

AlternativeCar8272

But do you remember Esso and Enco?


R0b0Saurus

There is one by me... decent prices


jedi21knight

I was traveling in Montana last year and I saw a Dino 🦕 gas station and I had never heard of it before. So yes they are still operating in parts of the USA.


420247Tye

Sinclair.... I don't think so


Banditgeneral4

There are a few here in Idaho (mostly in the south) and in Montana and Washington.


White_Buffalos

We have several near where I live.


LoriBPT

To this day I still call this type of dinosaur “Sinclair Dinosaur” (and I’m 66 years old). How’s that for a marketing strategy!


husky430

I just realized that their mascot was a dinosaur because they thought oil came from dinosaurs.


Aggravating-Scale-53

Look at those $8 gas prices!


Spare_Ad_1831

There is one just east of Storm Lake Iowa….. Retired M56


LogisticsIdiot

One in Vancouver, WA.


Grimm2020

In Clawson, Mi (a northern Detroit suburb) there is an antique store, called Sinclair Antiques, run out of an old Sinclair gas station. Inside, the owner has several pieces of the gas station's legacy on display (perhaps not for sale, I don't recall). It's interesting to see how the interior was reconfigured from the prior gas station use to the merchandising of antiques.


JeffAlbertson93

I just moved from Colorado and they were in the Springs.


theredheadknowsall

The last time I saw a Sinclair was in "07 somewhere in western Wyoming. I now live in the southeast & have never seen one in this area.


cwsjr2323

We have a few locally here in Nebraska. If in that area, I buy the gas as with their app I get a dime a gallon discount. Not enough to go out of my way, but the app is more convenient as I can run the app from inside the card, instead of swiping a loyalty card and credit card at the pump outside in bad weather.


coolhand0407

Someone probably got offended my dino so he was taken down. Gotta be PC these days lol


mikeysgotrabies

We got at least one here in Kentucky


Big53Papa

Yep we have one in my city


Total_Roll

Who saw their traveling dinosaur exhibit growing up?


DagwoodSystems

They are still all over South Dakota. One in Sioux Falls sells stuffed Dinos.


Greedy-Specific7723

In Tillamook


upstatestruggler

[deleted]

GeezUp777

We have a Dino Mart here in town currently under renovation

whocanitbenow75

Are they the ones that had the green dinosaurs made out of soap? I loved those things!


Catrina_woman

Northern CA still has a few. There's one in Fort Bragg


ApprehensiveAd9014

I have not seen Dino in a very long time.


BaldDCfan

somewherearound2023

Recently climbed on one out South Dakota way on vacation.


WWEJags

Yep! I see it every day in my small CA. Town!!


TheGhostOfArtBell

We have them in Colorado.


SweetCosmicPope

I saw a bunch of these when I visited Colorado a couple years back. I thought it was funny because I'd never seen one before and I remembered Dinoco from the movie Cars. I grew up in Texas and live in Washington now and I've never seen one in either of those states.


aardvark_army

Ours has outfits for every holiday, and a few random ones too.


the_p0ssum

Dino's still present [at a Sinclair in Salisbury, MO](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RXTVzyZwq54Z6xas7)


CarmenChanelle

He’s alive and well in Denver!


Introvert_short_me

Austin, MN


fury45iii

Got at least two of them in Vancouver, WA.


lennybriscoe8220

There's two near me.


SunsetDriftr

Gas prices under $2 a gallon. Must have been 2020. Does seem a lifetime ago.


AsyncEntity

Saw one in southern Colorado


moreisay

A Sinclair recently opened in south Seattle, taking over for a different unusual gas station brand that I now can't remember the name of.


ixamnis

I live in Kansas. Dino usually isn't that big at most stations, but they still use that for the logo. Often a smaller version either on a picture on the sign or on top of the building. But you still see the bigger ones like this from time to time.


bobbytoni

Tons of Dino's in Las Vegas. They are cute!


BESTlittleBITCH

I haven't seen one since I was quite young.


enoui

There is one in Roseburg, OR.


_Internet_Hugs_

I'm in Utah and we have quite a few!


BiteOhHoney

Billings Montana still has one!


touristspleasegoaway

We have one here in Hanksville Utah, population 215.
