The company that made Phillips 66 gasoline began in 1917 as Phillips Petroleum Company. In 1927, the company's gasoline was being tested on U.S. Highway 66 in Oklahoma, and when it turned out that the car was going 66 mph, the company decided to name the new fuel Phillips 66. Phillips Petroleum Company also had regional gasoline stations in Canada's western provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia) called Pacific 66 until the late 1970's. The first Phillips 66 gas station was built in McLean, Texas.
