American Gasoline

[bellavite1]

I am not sure about this,but it is worth checking it out:
"

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? In addition, they are gouging us on oil prices.
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 the 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 th e 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. The following gas 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 $100 per barrel, that's over $550 million PER DAY ($200 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies!!!!! It won't stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we keep buying their product.
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
Murphy Oil USA* ......... 0 Sold at Wal-Mart , gas is from South Arkansas and fully USA owned and produced.
*Not only that but 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 !!!!

Again, all you have to do is forward this message to 10 people. How long would that really take you? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people, within one day all 300 MILLION people could theoretically be contacted during the next eight days!
Cheers,

Like I said I AM NOT SURE ABOUT IT.
If I had time to research it I would have not put the "I am not sure part" in.
It is food for thoughts.
I have never considered boycotting a specific brand of gasoline.
I thought it was a good idea.
You don't have to be a dick about it.

You can generally ignore anything you get in an email from someone. 9 times out of 9.5, it is fake.

[bellavite1]

You are probably right.
Now I know better.

I wish there was a way to buy only oil from companies that will help bring the price down. But the simple fact the only way to bring down the cost of gas is by not driving. If you don't fill up your not sending them money and the only way to get around that is by not driving. That should help if enough people do it. And if you kill hippies driving up the cost.

[MrPrena]

Crude oil price goes up/down based on the supply/demand at a trading floor. Of course damn OPEC controls majority of supply on an inelastic commodity.

Therefore, best way is to unsupport OEPC is to:

-Carpool
-public transportation
-plan trips ahead
- save save save on gas.

[7idl]

didn't you get the memo?

us going to Iraq and Afghanistan was about oil.

we'll be getting free oil any minute now....

[Circuits]

And if you kill hippies driving up the cost.

Killing hippies should be its own reward!

[DOC]

Killing hippies should be its own reward!

Yes it should have a bounty paid on it too. I just wish Al Gore should have to push my truck off the road everytime it runs out of gas or when I thinks its getting low on gas just because he wants gasoline to be $5 a gallon.
