TOKYO -- JXTG Energy, the gasoline station operator of Japan's biggest oil refiner, will phase out long-standing filling station marques, including Esso and Mobil, by 2020, leaving only the Eneos brand.
Eneos will become the brand on more than 40% of Japan's gas stations. JXTG will also bring order to affiliated stations' varying promotional practices to prepare for an era of declining gasoline consumption in Japan.
