BUY AMERICAN GAS ONLY.
« on: June 10, 2008, 12:34:40 PM »
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 th e 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 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 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 c ompanies 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

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 i nternet, 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!

are you the one sending me all these emails... >:(

you're better off decreasing overall usage rather than boycotting



-------------------------------------------------------------------


This email is a hoax. There are a lot of problems with this email on gas prices. Here are three of the statistical errors:

- 86% of Middle East oil does not come from Saudi Arabia and Iraq.

- We don't import most of our oil from the Middle East. Only about 31% of our imports come from the Middle East.

- Some of the companies listed actually do import from the Middle East (for example, Citgo, BP and Phillips). And some of the companies that supposedly don't import from the Middle East, in fact, do.

But more important, the suggested strategy isn't particularly practical. Buying from the smaller companies to put the larger companies out of business ignores details like: 1) the smaller companies couldn't supply current needs (and if they could, they'd most likely wind up buying from the larger, 'bad guy' companies); 2) oil companies regularly sell to one another; and 3) many companies sell through a multitude of channels, so it's very difficult to know where the gas you're buying actually comes from.

it was a joke...you posted a chain email that I've seen a thousand times.

As for the complaining part...you're right...I think this country is full of spoiled people who don't realize how good they've got it.  If they think we are in "hard times" they haven't got a friggin clue.

i live in a county where it takes two hours by bus to get to nyc...and 35 minutes to drive.  in other words, taking the bus adds three hours round trip to my commute.

i won't comment on how lucky we are.  millions have fallen on hard times.  some people care, others don't.  that'll never change.
