'''Xoomer''' is a [[Filling Stations|gasoline retailer]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], with numerous tankers and gas stations throughout [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]. Its retail locations are distinguishable by the large "X" rotating above the pumps. [[Carl Johnson|Carl Johnson's]] [[Doherty Garage|garage]] in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]] is a run-down, antiquated version of a Xoomer gas station/garage, with a faded sign reading the full name of "Xoomer" visible on the canopy above the defunct pumps, and no visible remnants of a rotating "X". However, after several mission completions, it has become a successful chop shop garage, also serving as a [[Save Points in GTA San Andreas|safehouse]], with a garage big enough for three vehicles. Xoomer is most likely a parody of [[:wp:Exxon|Exxon]], as the "X" in "Xoomer" is similar to the double "X" in Exxon's logo.

Xoomer is the owner of the truck [[Carl Johnson|Carl]] and [[Cesar Vialpando]] steal during the [[Mike Toreno]] mission [[Highjack]]. In both missions, the company's logo, a large "X" with the name "Xoomer" superimposed, is seen emblazoned on the sides and back of the truck's tank. Furthermore, the trucking missions just outside western [[Los Santos]] sometimes require the player to drive a tanker. Invariably, the tanker sports the Xoomer logo on its tank.
