I think that the main point of the current Deepwater Horizon disaster is that statistically it probably could have happened to any number of deep water rigs. Sure there will be things BP did wrong which led to the disaster, but it is probably a matter a chance which of the big oil companies would have had gotten caught in this mess, just as it was a matter of statistical bad luck that Exxon happened to own the Valdez tanker. That said, putting a fuel brand logo on gas caps is a stupid idea.
Best coverage of the oil spill and ongoing efforts to solve the problem is, hands down, http://theoildrum.com.

Thank you Findude for the link to theoildrum.com. I also agree with Mr. Horner. Let me see if I got this correct. Here is the U.S. we have a lot of addicts. Many people are killed, a great deal of money is invested, and great risks are taken to supply our addicts. But do we blame the addicts? Of course not. We blame the people who are taking the big risks to supply our addictions.
