Dixie Gas & Oil Corporation was founded June 16, 1946 as Dixie Bottle Gas Corporation. Dennis Earhart began the company by purchasing nearly 100 propane customers from the HUB Furniture Company. By 1953, the company was one of the first in the area to offer bulk propane delivery. In addition to propane, Dixie was also known for selling major household appliances. In order to offer customers a range of home heating products, the company also began delivering home heating oil in the mid-1950s. In 1962 petroleum operations took off and it expanded its petroleum products to include gasoline and motor oil. In addition to propane and petroleum products, the company also provides local industries with bulk and packaged commercial and food grade lubricants from Citgo and Castrol, as well as its own brand, Suprotek Advantage. Dixie Gas & Oil Corporation maintains a location in Verona, Va.
