With Lykins, northern Kentucky residential customers will continue to have home heating oil and other petroleum products to choose from. Commercial clients will also have fuel options including alternative fuels such as E85 and biodiesel. Now, under Lykins, area gas stations and convenience stores will have the choice of Shell, BP, Marathon, Exxon/Mobil, and Clark brands as well as unbranded fuel.
