[Mgs] [Mgb-v8] Kendall Oil

[Larry Daniels]

Interesting enough is that Brad Penn IS the old Kendall.  The old company 
sold off the refinery to American Refining Group who now operate it as Brad 
Penn.  The old owners also sold the name "Kendall" to Conoco Phillips who 
label their own concoction as Kendall.  I guess it's buyer beware.  That is 
why I buy Brad Penn.

Unfortunately, NFI. ;-))
