WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS

Got this in an email from a friend, thought I would pass it on.......




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!<--- just DONT wanna go thru this AGIAN

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 :

Arab 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:

Other oil:

Citgo.......................0 barrels
Sunoco...................0 barrels
Conoco...................0 barrels
Sinclair.....................0 barrels
BP/Phillips..............0 barrels
Hess.......................0 barrels

ARC0...........................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 33 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!
 
You know why Bush didn't think about it? Because it's not in his best interest. There are just as many AMERICAN oil investors as there are of other countries. It's the phat cats getting fatter. Live with it or buy a hybrid.

hybrids suck.... if anything get a gas powered vehicle.

at a gas station.... and in regards to your post read up on urban myths
Guess I should have done that first.

sorry.
 
More than one way to look at this. For example, the reason Citgo doesn't presumably import middle eastern oil is that it is owned by the government of Venezuela. Hmm. Some of us are of course more "lefty" than others, but those of a conservative bent might want to research the Gov't of Venezuela before rushing down to the Citgo station to spit in the ayatollahs' eyes.

It's a nice idea, but the world oil supply is as good as sold before it comes out of the ground. You will not drive one supplier out of business by favoring another. The Venezuelans and Saudis will sell all the oil they pump.

The people who discount the notion of choosing your station like to refer to oil as a fungible commodity. It's a hard word to find a good definition for, but as I understand it means that it's interchangeable, and inherently interchangeable in ways that you can't control, probaby before you ever see it. You can't control the oil supply by buying oil, and with the world the way it is, you probably can't control it by not buying oil, either.
 
If he would have Searched, he would have seen this as a reoccuring repost -LOL!

Old stuff, this craps is a typed email virus. Every once in a while someone gets this as an email and spreads it around again.
