how does this make you feel??
WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON. Gas rationing in the 70's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even have been good for us! Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products? Shouldn't we return the favor? Can't we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates their profits, their livings? How about leaving American Dollars in America and reduce th e import/export deficit? An appealing remedy might be to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up your car you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just purchase gas from companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up my tank, I'm sending my money to people who I get the impression want me, my family and my friends dead. Don't you think it might be of interest to know which oil companies import Middle Eastern oil and which do not? 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 And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela by Dictator Hugo Chavez who hates America and openly avows our economic destruction! (We pay Chavez's regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues!) The U.S.. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $95 per barrel, that's over $524 million PER DAY ($191 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies!!!!! 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 Maverick...................... 0 barrels Flying J. ...................... 0 barrels Valero............................ 0 barrels $BO)(B I AM GOING TO ADD THE FOLLOWING... J Murphy Oil USA sold at Wal-Mart is from South Arkansas and owned USA Not only that they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens. All of this information is available from the U.S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. But to have a real impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. With the help of the internet, 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 only 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-the entire population of the United States of America !!!! It doesn't matter how old this information is, when the situations are the same or much worse. You are not wrong Texas Underdog, nor are you right, we all know there is always a way around every law ever written. The info I have given here is still good. Baptism By Fire, Thank you so much for the additional details. That is such a big help.

That is so awesome and informative! I was riding around today with my 2 daughters and my 12 year old cousin and we were all laughing and giggling and I was so distracted an p!#$ed at the GAS PRICES and I casually passed station after station trying to decide where to spend my allocated $20 Friday gas money... that used to fill UP the Rav-4 and now doesn't even give me a 3rd of a tank!!! Thank you. I am printing the list and giving it to my huge family and loads of friends. This has got to stop. Thank you! I am also posting it on my myspace page as a blog. Props and credits to you. Peace. I can email you the link if you wanna show off. HA!

The answer is in corporate greed that is soulless and uncaring, unless some money is at stake. There will have to be a complete and persistent shift in social behavior before this excess will subside.

I AGREE WE SHOULD BY U.S.A. PRODUCTS ALL THE WAY AROUND. HOWEVER EVEN A BIGGER STEP WE CAN TAKE IS MAYBE PARK OUR GASOLINE DEPENDENT VEHICLES AND START GOING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, RIDE A BICYCLE, WALK, AND DO IT THROUGH THE SUMMER MONTHS AND SEE IF THAT MAY CHANGE THE HEARTBEAT OF THE OPEC AND OIL COMPANIES. WHEN RESEARCHING YOUR POST HERE IS WHAT I FOUND ON TRUTHORFICTION.COM. AS IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE AFTER SEPT. 11, 2001 AND HAD TO DO AT THAT TIME WITH TERRORISM FUNDING. Boycott The Oil Companies Buying Middle Eastern Oil and We'll Stop Funding Terrorism and Keep the Gas Prices down-Truth! & Fiction! Summary of the eRumor This message lists several oil companies and how much Middle Eastern oil they buy. It encourages us to stop buying from the companies that buy from the Middle East because that will reduce the support of terrorism. It also suggests that in May of 2001, there was a successful grass-roots effort to drive down gas prices by boycotting certain companies. The Truth There are several issues in this eRumor. First, does the purchase of Middle Eastern oil help terrorism. There are varying voices on that. Some say that since Osama Bin Laden's family made its money mostly from construction and that Bin Laden has been estranged from the family for quite a while, there isn't any direct link. Others say that oil purchased from countries like Iraq goes directly toward support of terrorism and that profits for other countries, such as Saudi Arabia, indirectly aid terrorism because of wealthy Saudis who are said to help finance people like Osama Bin Laden. Second, what oil companies buy Middle Eastern oil? We were able to secure the statistics from the U.S. Department of Energy for various oil companies for calendar Year 2000: Shell purchased 3,611,000 barrels from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia BP purchased none from the Middle East. Chevron purchased 14,724,000 from the Middle East. Citgo-None from the Middle East. Amoco purchased 3,611,000 barrels from the Middle East. Exxon-Mobil combined purchased 13,273,000 barrels from the Middle East. Marathon purchased 10,710,000 in Middle Eastern oil. Sunoco purchased none from the Middle East. Conoco purchased 523,000 from the Middle East. Sinclair-We didn't find any figures. Phillips-We didn't find any Middle Eastern purchases. Third, was there a successful boycott in 2001? Not really. There have been several emails circulated from time to time that encourage a day or a week of avoiding buying gas, but there's never been any evidence that we're aware of that they had had any impact on gas prices. There is one version of this eRumor that adopts some information from another popular eRumor and claims that gas is projected to rise to $3 per gallon by the summer of 2002. The Energy Department forecast, however, is for a high of $1.60 per gallon. We have not found any forecasts for $3 per gallon. Last updated 3/23/03 A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet: Yisrael Medad of the Begin Center sent the following information. 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. Major companies that import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 -8/31/01). Shell 205,742,000 barrels Chevron/Texaco 144,332,000 barrels Exxon/Mobil 130,082,000 barrels Marathon 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 Conoco 0 Sinclair 0 BP/Phillips 0 All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on a monthly basis. Keep this list in your car; share it with friends. Stop paying for terrorism DO YOU REMEMBER LAST MAY, WHEN GAS PRICES WERE THREATENING TO GO TO $2.00 PER GALLON. I ACTUALLY PAID $2.05 PER GALLON IN OHIO. WELL, THEY ARE TRYING TO DO IT AGAIN. WE E-MAILED EVERYONE IN OUR ADDRESS BOOKS, AND ASKED EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME. WITHIN DAYS, AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE GOT THE MESSAGE, AND GUESS WHAT? MYSTERIOUSLY, GAS PRICES WENT DOWN. ECONOMICS - JUST BUY FROM THE OTHER FOUR OR FIVE COMPANIES WHO DON'T BUY OIL FROM THE MODEST TERRORIST SUPPORTING COUNTRIES. THEN WE DO BUY FROM THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES WHO DO NOT BUY MID EAST OIL. Citgo 0 barrels Sunoco 0 Conoco 0 Sinclair 0 BP/Phillips 0 IT IS YOUR MONEY! SPEND IT WISELY! JUST SAY NO TO MID EASTERN COUNTRIES WHO SUPPORT TERRORISM! WE SENT THIS OUT MAY OF 2001. AND IT WORKED!!! We need to do whatever we can, and do it NOW!!!! PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO BELOW $1.28 - $1.29 AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK! If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention UNITED WE STAND!!! ~ AMERICAN ECONOMICS IN ACTION!!!~

How old are these figures? And, don't oil companies buy oil from each other when they need to? Just because a company doesn't buy directly from the Middle East, doesn't mean that the gas you put in your vehicle did not originate from there. Am I wrong on this? ======================================
