UK Oil is a gas station on Cougar Ave. near the Mandem Block, and is owned by Tommy Tate.
Background[]
The Mandem had wanted to own the gas station for a long time. After a lot of people/business owned gas stations started popping up around the city, Tommy inquired as to how to own the one near the block. An investigation by Alex Ron named Ben Williams as the owner of the station under the name Guzzlers. Tommy and the Mandem devised multiple plans to acquire the station from Ben, but Alex soon found that Ben had never finalized ownership. Proprietorship was reverted back to RON Corp, and after finalizing the business with Bunny and the Mayor's Office, the gas station was officially transferred from Senn Ron to Tommy on 4th May 2022.
Station Info[]
The gas station can hold up to 10,000 gallons of fuel and is set at the price of $9 per gallon. The station started functioning with oil that was purchased from Luke Bloom for $70K. UK Oil has an exclusive contract with Mary Mushkin from Procyon Industries and is refilled multiple times a day at $6.25 per gallon. One of the conditions of the contract is that Mary never lets the station drop to 0 gallons, or else she'll provide the next 5,000 for free. Payment is made every Monday for the oil. Patar Bellosh and Marie Ortiz look after the gas station as managers, with Marie facilitating events and races associated with the station. Anyone refilling their car at UK Oil gets a $200 discount from Patar on every advanced lockpick set purchase. The station had a Yokai spray due to Tommy and Mary being members of the racing crew. The spray was removed 2 days later due to criticism by Chang Gang for having Yokai spray in the Mandem turf. On May 20, 2022, Alex Ron asked Tommy for $300,000 for the construction of the gas station, however after negotiating, Tommy managed to get the total down to $212,000.

Trivia[]
- The name, UK Oil, has a double meaning. The more obvious is that Tommy, and most of The Mandem are from the UK. The second, if it is read as U-Koil, is a reference to Koil, the owner of NoPixel.
- Inside the store, there are Mandem Wine bottles, and a magazine with a picture of Dean Quincy as Megamind.
