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. Let's turn the table around and ration the crude Oil that we use from the Middle Eastern Countries.
It might even be good for us!
The Saudis are boycotting American goods.
We should return the favor. It's not like we don't pull enough oil from here in the US to supply or needs. For that matter did you kow we export approximately 5% to 10% or our raw crude over seas to the Mid East countries. hmm something is wrong with this picture.
An interesting thought it 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 oi! l 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 :
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
And here are importing companies
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!
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.
here is the source of this information

There are more listed then those above for the importing companies
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. Feel free to copy this and email it to all your friends. Also please note that this information is only in regards to the US market.
