Where to Buy Your USA-Gas

[MellowOne]

I received the following in email so I don't have a link. But it's interesting.


WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-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 is 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.

These 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! (oil is now $55-$60 a barrel)


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
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 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 !!!!!!!

6. Thanks....

Never mind my post below ... I may have to switch to Sunoco instead.

This of course is only until I get the money to buy a new car ... which will have a diesel engine, on which I will be converting the necessary parts (hoses, mainly) to run on pure used veggie oil.

7. I still think Citgo is a good bet

The vast majority of Citgo gas comes from Venezuela, the profits from which now go to helping the people of Venezuela, primarily the poor indigenous. That's a good thing if you ask me.

8. Yeah, that's true. (n/t)

10. Thanks for setting me straight! LOL

I gotta learn to check things out first.

4. I only buy gas at Citgo

That's from Venezuela....

5. I have been buying exclusively from Citgo for a while now since it is

Venezuelan oil.
I will forward this info to all.

9. Oil and refined fuels are commodities.

Oil companies are no longer vertically integrated. :shrug:

While selecting a certain brand-named gas station directs the retail profit margin to the franchisee and the distributor, it doesn't have any effect (other than on the broad demand) on which oil wells or shipping company or refiner benefit above any other. I don't think the industry has been structured that way for several decades.
