The History of RPF Oil Company

RPF Oil Company is the successor company to Phil Flint Oil Company that was founded in 1933 by Richard Paul Fleckenstein
as a home heating oil supply business supplied by Phillips 66.  In 1956, Phil Flint acquired Wymer Oil Company to grow the
fuel oil business and to incorporate gasoline as a wholesale product.

Between 1956 and 1957 Phil Flint accumulated retail gas stations and sold gas under the Phillips brand name.  In 1967, Crest
was formed to operate retail gas stations as an independent gas retailer (Phillips Petroleum was a national brand), and two
retail stations were immediately transferred to Crest and re-branded.  RPF’s son, Bill, opened the stations as some of the
first “self-serve” in Michigan. Between 1967 and 1972 several more stations were added under the Crest mantle, while Phil
Flint continued to own the locations purchased before 1967 and sell fuel oil to residential and local business customers. 
Several small fuel oil distributorships were purchased during this period to increase fuel oil sales volume.

In 1972, day-to-day control of the Companies passed from his father, RP Fleckenstein to Bill Fleckenstein.  At this time,
a branded supply arrangement was consummated with Total Petroleum, (a national brand) and all Phillips and Crest stations
were re-branded as Total gas stations.  No other significant changes took place until 1980, when Phil Flint purchased all of
Mobil Oil Company’s fuel oil business in the Genesee County area.  This large acquisition was followed by a second of equal
size in 1986, when Boron Fuel Oil was bought out in the Flint area.

In 1986, the Companies were approached by Amoco Oil Company and offered exclusive rights to the entire Genesee County
area in exchange for re-branding to Amoco.  The decision was made to re-brand to Amoco, with the understanding that when
Amoco executed its planned withdrawal from Genesee County the Companies would have the right of first refusal to
purchase Amoco’s corporately owned stations.  In early 1992, plans for the withdrawal were formalized and Amoco offered to
sell the Companies seven retail Amoco stations, and a vacant piece of property which represented an attractive future retail site
on Holly Road in Grand Blanc.

In 1994 Phil-Flint Oil acquired seven retail sites from Amoco.  These were the remaining sites that Amoco controlled on a reseller
basis in the Flint area.  Also in 1994, Bill Fleckenstein passed away and his son John A. Fleckenstein became President of the
company. Crest Petroleum was also phased out and its assets rolled into Phil-Flint Oil Company. In 1995, Phil-Flint’s name was
changed to RPF Oil Company due to the fact that Phil-Flint was short for Phillips 66 of Flint and the company no longer
represented their products. The name was also changed to RPF as the two grandsons, Dan and John, also wanted to honor their
grandfather and founder of the company, Richard Paul Fleckenstein.

In 2004, after 22 years in the investment industry in Boston, Dan Fleckenstein joined RPF as head of acquisitions and business
development. He assisted his brother, John, in purchasing one of four packages that were being offered for sale by
BP, North America in the Detroit Metro area. Later in 2006, RPF Oil would successfully acquire Davison Oil Company and
added the Shell brand to its line.

In 2009, Dan Fleckenstein was appointed the President/CEO and John Fleckenstein was promoted as the Chairman of RPF Oil
Company.
