Default dont buy arab gas

WHERETO BUY YOUR USA - GAS

.....GOT THIS FROM A FRIEND AND WANTED TO SEE IF YOU AGREE

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 ery 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 $100.00 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 haven impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. It's really simple to do.

If each of us sends an e-mail out to ten more people within one day, all 100 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next eight days!

might cut the cost of MDing with lower gas prices

"Well there lies the stick"
Just becuse thoes companies do not import oil from outher countries, does not mean the gas at their stations is not a import....Most plp think that Fords and Chevy's are American made, but they should say assembled in America..(Although they are American compaies most of the parts and products that goes into the vehicles are made over seas.)

Big question
Where to buy fuel
Crude Oil Imports From Persian Gulf 2007
I look at it this way, I need fuel my bussiness needs fuel. I go to my local convience store 'Turkey Hill' and fill up. I like the fact that the owner/ manager hires local people, I know them and thier families. How would a boycot affect the local economy?

It would also be nice to narrow it down to include imports from Venezuela and the particular countries in the middle east.

Oil company's making Billions in profits...yes...but do you know how much cheaper gas would be if all the taxes were taken off? so how much profit is are government making on something they dont even make or sell, thats fed and state taxes
