I hope this isn't a repost, but I got this in my inbox yesterday. If it's true, I guess I've just become a loyal Unocal/phillips customer.
Especially after Jeff got half a tank full of water from the corner Chevron station on his second fill of a brand new truck.
Anyway, here's the info:
WHERE TO BUY YOUR GAS, 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.
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 :
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!
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
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.
