This study was carried out on the Nigerian petroleum retail market. The study essentially examine the application of marketing mix (product, price, place and promotion) in retailing of petroleum products in Nigeria using Texaco Plc as the case study.

The methods adopted to analyse the data gathered includes descriptive, financial ratios (liquidity ratio, solvency ration, profitability ratio) averages, ranking and simple percentages are used for easy understanding. During participant observation, issues that relate to scarcity, price hike and other practices at filling stations were fully discussed and argued. This study gave first hand information on the malpractice by station managers and fuel attendants.
