Getty Oil is an oil company founded by J. Paul Getty in 1964. In 1971, the Getty Realty division was formed to manage the real estate needs of Getty stations. The division was later spun off, but now owns the rights to the Getty brand. The Russian oil company Lukoil bought Getty in 2000. They have since sold Getty Petroleum Marketing to a private investment group in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word oil:
“I became increasingly anarchistic. I began to find people of my own class vicious, people in clean collars uninteresting. I even accepted smells, personal as well as official. Everyone who came to the studio smelled either of machine oil or herring.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
