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 company is principally engaged in the marketing and distribution of petroleum products, blending of lubricants, and manufacturing of greases and petroleum jelly. This study makes use of secondary data only. 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. It also gave insight on how artificial scarcity of products is perpetuated by these categories of petroleum products workers. This study thereby recommended that loading should be monitored and movement book well kept both at the depots and the expected destinations.
