About the Esso Receipt
Esso is a gasoline and convenience retail brand owned by ExxonMobil, operating fuel stations across the US and internationally. An Esso fuel receipt documents a pump transaction including gallons dispensed, price per gallon, total charge, and payment method. People recreate Esso receipts for expense reimbursement, mileage logs, business travel records, or to replace a lost paper receipt from a fill-up.
Esso in Numbers
Esso originated as a phonetic spelling of Standard Oil (S.O.) and has been in use as a brand since the early 20th century. It is owned by ExxonMobil, formed in 1999 through the merger of Exxon and Mobil. In the US, most stations operate under the Exxon or Mobil names; Esso branding is more prominent in Canada, Europe, and other international markets.

Using an Esso Receipt
- Fuel purchases are non-refundable once dispensed; retain the receipt for any billing disputes with your card issuer.
- For convenience store items purchased inside the station, return policies vary by location and are typically handled at the same station.
- Esso receipts are widely accepted for business expense reimbursement and fleet mileage tracking when they show date, gallons, price per gallon, and total.
- If a card was charged incorrectly, the transaction number and pump number printed on the receipt are needed to initiate a dispute with ExxonMobil customer service.
FAQs
Can I get a digital copy of an Esso receipt?
ExxonMobil's Speedpass+ app can store fuel transaction history for linked accounts. Otherwise, receipts are printed at the pump; there is no standard way to retrieve a paper receipt after leaving the station.
What information do I need to recreate an Esso receipt for expense reporting?
You need the station address, date and time of fill-up, fuel grade, gallons dispensed, price per gallon, and total amount charged. The pump number and last four digits of your payment card are helpful but not always required by employers.
Are Esso and Exxon receipts formatted the same way?
Both brands are owned by ExxonMobil and their receipts carry the same core fields. The main difference is the logo and brand name printed at the top. Field layout and transaction detail are essentially identical.
What does the transaction number on an Esso receipt do?
The transaction number uniquely identifies your pump session at that station. If you are billed incorrectly or need to dispute a charge, providing this number along with the station address and date helps ExxonMobil customer service or your bank locate the specific transaction.
