Exhibit 14.1

UNITED REFINING COMPANY

CODE OF ETHICS

Explanatory note

Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”), and the rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) thereunder, require an SEC reporting company to disclose whether or not it has adopted a written code of ethics applicable to the company’s senior financial officers, including the company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. This Code of Ethics (“Code”) has been adopted by United Refining Company in accordance with these provisions. Furthermore the Company is required to disclose whether, during the financial year being reported, it has amended the Code or granted a waiver from any provision of the Code.

The SEC encourages companies to apply the code of ethics to as broad a spectrum of personnel and affiliates as practicable and accordingly the Code affects a wider group of employees than specified by Sarbanes-Oxley. The Code is separate from the Company’s business principles. Those to whom the Code applies are required to adhere to its provisions completely and to address any perceived conflict with the Company’s Business Principles with the General Counsel and the Secretary of the Company.

This explanatory note is not part of the Code.
