Phillips 66 is a brand of oil, gasoline and other petroleum products originated and sold by the Phillips Petroleum Company from 1917 (the date of the company's founding) to 2012. The brand is now owned by the Phillips 66 Company, a new entity spun off from ConocoPhillips following its creation by the merger of the Phillips and Conoco (Continental Oil Co.) companies. The number "66" came from both the road where its gasoline was first tested (U.S. Highway 66 in Oklahoma, where the company began) and the top speed achieved by the test vehicle (66 miles per hour).
