'''Texaco''' is the petrol forecourt brand of Valero. They still maintain a presence on A-roads, but most of their sites on motorways have since been rebranded.

In the 1990s, Texaco partnered with Swayfields to develop a number of motorway service areas, including [[Baldock]] and [[Peterborough]]. Texaco fuel was also sold at Extra's [[Gold Star]] service areas.

===Forecourt Shops===
Unlike the other major operators Texaco don't have many sites with own-brand convenience store, generally choosing to use one of a selection of [[franchise|franchised]] names such as [[Londis]], [[Costcutter]] and [[Mace]]. Of those that are self branded, the smaller forecourt snack and essentials shops are branded as 'Express Shop', while larger shops are known as 'Star Market'.

'Star Market' was once a big brand, with its name well-advertised and often causing their forecourts to be nicknamed 'Star Garage'.
