About Gray County
Gray County occupies the eastern edge of the Texas Panhandle, where the Panhandle plains begin their transition toward the Red River country. The terrain is generally level to rolling, with some breaks and draws characteristic of the eastern Panhandle.
McLean is one of the more historically interesting small towns in the Panhandle. It sits along what was the original alignment of US Route 66, the highway that connected Chicago to Los Angeles. McLean is home to the Devil’s Rope Museum, which tells the history of barbed wire and its role in settling the West, and also houses exhibits on Route 66 history. McLean has long been associated with Route 66 heritage tourism in this part of Texas.
For the working agricultural community around McLean, history is less of the daily concern than keeping equipment fueled and heated through the seasons. The farms and ranches surrounding town run on diesel and the rural homes run on propane: the same basic needs as anywhere else in the Panhandle.
What We Deliver in Gray County
Dyed Diesel (Off-Road): Farm equipment, ranch tractors, and irrigation engines throughout Gray County’s agricultural areas run on dyed diesel. We deliver to bulk farm storage accounts in the McLean area and surrounding rural portions of the county.
Clear Diesel (On-Road): Highway diesel for commercial trucks, farm pickups, and grain haulers operating on public roads.
Gasoline: For light vehicles, farm utilities, and small equipment around rural properties and residences.

Lubricants: Engine oils, hydraulic fluids, and equipment lubricants, available alongside fuel delivery.
Why Gray County Trusts Silverton Oil
Gray County is a longer haul from our Silverton base than some of our other service areas, but we have been running routes into this part of the Panhandle for years. As a family-owned, faith-driven business that has operated since 1972, we take the same approach with every account: show up on time, deliver what was ordered, and be reachable when something comes up.
The McLean area agricultural community deserves a fuel supplier who treats them like neighbors rather than a delivery stop number. That is how we operate.
