Automotive Journalist Hits Road for Gas Promotion

Bressler will blog, Tweet trip; will visit 15 Texaco stations
ATLANTA -- Chevron has announced that automotive journalist Jeff Bressler will help launch the Texaco Everyday Performance Instant Win Game by driving more than 3,000 miles cross country to meet Texaco customers along the way. Bressler will blog and Tweet after visiting more than 15 Texaco stations, beginning in Atlanta, on July 31 and ending in Reno, Nev., August 6 at the classic car show Hot August Nights.

The stations will offer 99-cent gasoline and 25 cents hot dogs and 16-oz. sodas, road trip essentials giveaways and a donation presentation to the Children's Miracle [image-nocss] Network.

"I am looking forward to getting out on the open road and talking to drivers across the country about the unbeatable cleaning power of Texaco with Techron," said Bressler. "Texaco stations along the way provide the perfect locations to stop, make some new friends and fill up the tank of the Camaro I'll be driving, the same model some lucky contest winners could soon be parking in their own driveways."

The Texaco Everyday Performance Instant Win Game, which runs August 1 through August 31, features more than 8,000 prizes, including 10 new 2010 Chevrolet Camaros, 21 Texaco with Techron gasoline-for-a-year prizes and thousands of Texaco gift cards. Texaco customers play by picking up game cards at participating Texaco stations and registering online at www.texacoperformance.com.

"The Texaco Everyday Performance Instant Win Game allows customers to fill up on Texaco with Techron while enjoying the chance to win great prizes. We're excited to have Jeff join us on this adventure," said Danny Roden, vice president of Chevron Global Marketing for the Americas.
