Where To Buy Your Gas...
WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS...
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.
READ ON--
Why didn't George W. think of this?
Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it.
It might even be good for us!The Saudis are boycotting American goods.
We should return the favor.
An interesting thought it to boycott their GAS.
Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into
the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't
import their oil from the Saudis.
Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I
fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends
I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil
companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell............................. 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Citgo.......................0 barrels
Sunoco...................0 barrels
Conoco...................0 barrels
Sinclair....................0 barrels
BP/Phillips..............0 barrels
Hess........................0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers.
It's really simple to do.
Now, don't wimp out at this point... keep reading and I'll explain
how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I'm sending this note to about thirty people.
If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and
those
300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the
time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends
each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!
If it goes one level further, you guessed it .....
THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people.
How long would all that take?
If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one
day, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next eight days!
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW.

Nice info!
But today, the barrell was at $50, down from well over $55.
BTW a not-so-well-known fact about oil is that Canada is the 1st oil-supplying country of the US, more than the US itself.
There are reasons why $2 billions (CDN) crosses the border each day

Well think of it this way, would you rather go to Publix and buy Coco-Cola or Publix brand Coke? The generic, yet tastes the same, is cheaper than the Coco-Cola's brand.
I'm sure Canada's cheaper than Middle East...

(Canada = pipeline = cheap.
Saudi Arabia = huge tankers = expensive and risky),
but for extracting price, Saudi Arabia is around $5/barrel, when Canada is $35-40/barrel, since it has to be transformed from bituminous sands.
Regarding quality though, it's at the refinery that the game is played...

Yes the companies in the second list do not import ME oil... becuase they buy imported ME oil from the companies on the first list. You think the companies on the second list could 1) supply the necessary amounts of oil needed 2) keep the price comp***ive without buying oil originating in the middle east? The greatest source of ignorance and misinformation appears to come from these random emails with an agenda.

this would drive some gas station owners out of the business...rather stop buying gas guzzling cars so that automakers feel the pinch and start investing in alternative fuel technologies. Under no circumstances anyone really needs those big *** Expeditions, Suburbans, Denalis..

BP and Amoco are one Company. And like bgates1654 said "the companies in the second list do not import ME oil... becuase they buy imported ME oil from the companies on the first list" They just have their own plants to convert it.
Check your info before posting. That is like the email in the past to stop buying gas on Wednesday. Like that was going to hurt the big Oil companies pockets.
The only thing we can do the boycott is to stop driving.
