I used them when they were Amoco but has since switched to Sunoco or Shell.

Ford & BP have cross-marketing/promotion deals in several markets (US, Europe, Middle East). Ford cars in the BP ads, BP stickers on the Fords, Ford & BP working on engines/emmissions in England, consumer education in the US, and alternative fuel research.

Business Wire, July 1, 2005
DEARBORN, Mich. -- As Ford Motor Company and BP engineers continue working collaboratively toward sustainable mobility solutions, they also are working to link the two companies in the minds of consumers. Beginning this July, 2006 model Ford Division cars, pickups and SUVs in the U.S. will bear gas caps recommending BP to customers as an extension of a unique relationship the company has developed with this leading fuel provider.
This is the first time in the United States a major auto manufacturer has recommended an energy company's fuel. Early joint efforts for the Ford/BP filler cap initiative in Europe have been very successful, and have paved the way for the current launch in the U.S. Nearly 3 million Ford products in the U.S. will feature fuel caps with "Ford recommends BP" and the BP helios logo.
"The relationship between Ford and BP is a great fit for a number of reasons - common customers worldwide, strong retail networks, and complementary technologies," said Ford Division President Darryl Hazel. "The fuel cap recommendation allows customers to establish a tangible connection between both companies. We expect to have future promotions between Ford dealerships and BP retail locations that will strengthen that association even further."
