Cheaper Alternatives to Exxon

I like BP right now (disclaimer - I do own some)...the long term charts of all the major integrateds look roughly the same...yet the BP dividend yield is about 4% at current prices. They just raised it, so it's an obviously safe divy. Not to be sniffed at with current interest rates and yields elsewhere, and the potential for BP to rise as it sheds its troubles. All the negatives are pretty much priced in already, in my opinion.
