Where to buy US fuel instead of Saudi fuel, email I got.

WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA - *GAS & be sure to pass this on to your friends

WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON--
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

Citgo Gas comes from South America , from a Dictator who hates Americans.

Do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (Oil is now $90-$95 a barrel + )

Here are some large companies that
DO NOT import Middle Eastern oil:

Sunoco................ 0 barrels
Conoco................ 0 barrels
Sinclair................ 0 barrels
BP/Phillips.......... 0 barrels
Hess.................... 0 barrels
ARC0................... 0 barrels
Also: Pilot, Flying J, Love's, RaceTrac, Valero

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 a t 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 gu essed it ..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all yo u 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!

That is interesting stuff. I was watching history or something the other day and it said venezuelian oil is inferior, who knows. I've been more prone to use shell because there are more stores out here, and they are on the rez, so it's 20c cheaper. I didn't know they were the #1 importer. I'll have to rethink next time I buy gas.

Fortunately, its a Conocco on the rez near my house so the cheaper gas is the US gas.

This is a chain letter and partly untrue. I see too much of this stuff posted and I ALWAYS research it if they don't back it up with links to resources and even then I check them out. Apparently the only companies that are not importing are: Sinclair, Sunoco and Hess. Please check stuff out before reposting. It will keep me from having to do it lol.

This is pure urban legend. *Sort of like when we were told not to buy oil on a certain day. *That never worked. *

China and India aside, the real reason prices for gas are so high is that "investment speculators" are out sinking the money they had in real estate and putting it into oil futures. *That and the fact that OPEC will not raise production; this is what is really driving the price of oil up. *But just like the housing market this bubble will burst and (hopefully) we will see oil and gas prices come down. *If you factor out the speculators, the cost for a barrel of oil is somewhere between $50 - $80. *In the mean time, all we can do is grin and bare it.

I got sent that snopes link in return this morning. *Man if were so simple. *Oh well.

[Bullnerd]

We have a about 30 valero's around central Jersey ,all owned by one guy,a middle easterner,I doubt he is buying from US companies.

Man this letter is way off. I work in the bp refinery. Oil is 108.00 a barrel right now. Arco and Bp is the same company, and yes we buy from the middle east also. Alaskan crude is about the best you can get, but all the other oils work, the just take a liitle more work to refine.

[Bugpac]

Flying j by me, drives 4 miles down the road from them to the exon/mobil and fills there tanker, Its not a refinery, just a storage facility...
